If they didn't write a single line then they have not contributed to the package. I agree that there are other ways to contribute though. You may have discussed structure of the package or received best practice guidance from them, then they should be included as "ths". Really we should petition the core team to add an "adv" for advisor in a more general sense as it isn't just thesis supervisors that we received advice from. | |

I don't like the idea of adding "senior" researchers because... they are senior even though they didn't contribute. Especially, as a young researcher, it is important to have single-author papers and it is not true that I "lose nothing by including them". | |
