this was apparently a glitch. If I remember correctly, we decided
in the call to limit the number of papers to one per component
(the most relevant one), since otherwise things become a bit
impractical. For GRHydro, which was originally based on the public
version of Whisky, we decided to list the Baiotti et al. 2005 paper.
We decided not to list the WhiskyMHD paper, simply, because GRHydro's
MHD implementation is completely independent.

I hope this clarifies things.

One should at least cite the most important components you used,
i.e. the Isolated Horizon finder, if it is a crucial component
etc. There is a plan for a computational science publication discussing
the current components of the EinsteinToolkit. This may become the
main reference for such short papers with little room for references.
So not sure how exactly this will work out.

You write an e-mail and yell at them.

Best,
