The problem is that I'm working on a tool to convert bibtex
bibliographies to docbook. In bibtex it's quite common to use "[...] and
others", which bibtex translates to "et al." (depending on the used
style). And I need a similar construction in docbook to properly convert
it. I'm currently using a personname element to just make sure its not
left out.

I haven't forked it (yet). I did submit the changes on the sf.net
project page and emailed the admin. But I haven't had a reply yet. The
linked page is just a temporary location until I have a definitive
answer.
