[AstroPy] astropy timeseries Gaia

[Adrian Price-Whelan]

Hi Rudolf,

I think it would be great to support reading Gaia data
in astropy.timeseries!

I have some questions about the implementation, but maybe we should move
this discussion into a GitHub issue -- do you want to open an issue about
this in the astropy repository?
https://github.com/astropy/astropy/issues

best,
Adrian
