Out of curiosity, upon random checks there seem to be many other packages
in similar situations (which have multiple authors, but cite only a subset):
SamplingStrata
sandwich
SAVE
seawave
What all of these cases seem to have in common is an older published
journal article, and the citation adhered to that article irrespective of
how many authors subsequently contributed to that package.
Would it suffice to provide such an article, then?
