Comment (by ranosch):

 Sorry for not having responded.

 > I'm not convinced that it is the best idea to have it so that anytime a
 function is called we have to log that its citation, even in the case
 where we don't care about that data.

 What exactly are your concerns? Speed? Integrity?

 In my opinion it would be very nice to have tracked the used components,
 no matter if we care for this data. And it's not meant to log every
 function call. Only rather important functions should be decorated (could
 say "cite-worthy", but that's a vague term). Maybe there should be rules
 on what makes some worth citing in Sage.

 Well thanks for pointing out, that it might be unclear that you need the
 spkg. I thought it will be enough if the dependency is mentioned as the
 dependency of the corresponding ticket, but I'm willing to change the
 description if that's not clear enough.

 I'm currently updating the spkg to a newer version, should I directly
 include the link to it when done?

 The intention of this ticket (as far as I see it) is to track sage's
 components and their citations. Pybtex is our tool of choice. Therefore,
 yes, it is important.
