REL: 2.5.1

[effigies]

Preparation for 2.5.1 release, targeting Monday, September 23.

Getting started mostly as a heads up, but I also expect a busy weekend next week, so it'd be nice to have everything merged and tested by Friday morning (EDT).

Open issues/PRs that could go in quickly

• wrong minc header #712 [BUG] Incorrect TR reported for Minc2 (Submitter: @ltetrel)
• FIX: Coerce data types on writing GIFTI DataArrays #806 [FIX] Coerce data types on writing GIFTI DataArrays (Submitter: @effigies; Reporter: @hyperbolicTom)

Please add any other issues that should be addressed to the 2.5.1 milestone (or comment, if you don't have permissions), and if they come with a PR, all the better.

Pre-release checklist

• Review the open list of nibabel issues. Check whether there are outstanding issues that can be closed, and whether there are any issues that should delay the release. Label them!
• Review and update the release notes. Review and update the Changelog file.
• Look at doc/source/index.rst and add any authors not yet acknowledged.
• Use the opportunity to update the .mailmap file if there are any duplicate authors listed from git shortlog -nse.
• Check the copyright year in doc/source/conf.py
• Refresh the README.rst text from the LONG_DESCRIPTION in info.py by running make refresh-readme.
• Check the dependencies listed in setup.cfg (e.g., install_requires, options.extras_require) and in doc/source/installation.rst and in requirements.txt and .travis.yml. They should at least match. Do they still hold? Make sure nibabel on travis is testing the minimum dependencies specifically.
• Make sure all tests pass (from the nibabel root directory): nosetests --with-doctest nibabel
• Edit nibabel/info.py to set _version_extra to ''; commit
