CRAN packages maintained by you

It is A Good Thing to regularize Authors and Maintainers of packages, 
particularly for citation()
and toBibTex().

Could I add a suggested TODO item for the maintainer of package.skeleton 
and friends to
help reinforce this for new packages:

- Please add appropriate templates for Author at R in the skeleton 
DESCRIPTION file generated,
indicating the proper format as well as the use of role= to signal the 
creator and
maintainer.

- a comment to see ?person for descriptions of fields wouldn't hurt either

best,
-Michael
