Just as a side note. We might ask users that use Natbib to use

\citet* or \citep*

which would result in

Guennebaud, Jacob and others (2010) or
(Guennebaud, Jacob and others, 2010) or

so the issue of et al. were gone.

You can always mention that on such a wiki page, as a simplee suggestion, explaining the problem with direct citation resulting in some cases in only Gael's name appearing; but it's hard to make that more than a suggestion, especially as this requires using an extra package (natbib).
