[ZoteroBib] Import from RIS, BibTeX
It is already possible in ZoteroBib to export to some formats. I think it is also useful to be able to import RIS and BibTeX files (and possibly more formats).
Possible use case: Some databases show only the bibliographic metadata when you have licensed them. I can maybe access them from my university, but this does not mean that also you (resp. the translation server) can access them as well. Probably I can download the data from the database in a format like RIS or BibTeX. To use this further one would need a possibility to import these files or simply the content to ZoteroBib.

In many cases, for items in gated databases, there'd still be a DOI or ISBN that you could use to add the item to ZoteroBib. (Unfortunately Google Scholar blocks AWS, but there might be other databases that you could try as well.)
