I am somewhat tickled at the thought of citing everything in a malicious compliance kind of way. Given a Nix environment, it should be possible to pull down a list of every bit of code that was used to construct the OS. Would we have to differentiate between installed vs executed code? My Latex environment probably has thousands of packages, though I might directly only include a handful of them. Even if I include a Latex package, it might not get executed.
The CITATION.cff format[0] is a newish format to solve the machine identification of citable works, but I suspect it is too new to see widespread adoption. It is going to take some backbreaking regexes to extract "How to Cite" sections embedded in READMEs and buried in the source.
