When you write this, can you add a register and unregister option for
packages and functions? Similar to what colormap() does. This would
allow users to type "citation optim" to get a citation for the optim
package if it exists, or "citation nonlin_residmin" to get a citation
for that function.

citation # get citation for octave
citation octave # get citation for octave (default)
citation optim # gets nothing, optim package not registered
citation ("register", "optim") # registers optim
citation optim # get citation for optim
citation ("unregister", "optim") # unregisters optim
citation optim # gets nothing again

This is very easy to maintain by using PKG_ADD lines to functions and
packages, can even be used in core functions.
