Description
Mostly putting here as a placeholder, I expect most discussion to happen in https://github.com/the-siesta-group/edfio/issues/62.
In short, we probably want to be able to export to BDF because this will be preferred by EMG-BIDS and thus soon MNE-BIDS. We should either add support to edfio for writing BDF (my preference), or use PyEDFLib (which we recently abandoned for edfio!) for writing BDF.

Research direction
Start with the discussion in edfio issue 62, then review how mne-python currently uses edfio and the previously abandoned PyEDFLib path. The scope is unresolved between adding BDF writing to edfio and using PyEDFLib; done would mean an agreed implementation that exports BDF for the EMG-BIDS and MNE-BIDS use case.
