algorithms used and their limitations, including references (e.g.,
zbesj.f).  Would it be appropriate to update the reference documentation
using the information in the source files?  (Are there any copyright
issues?)

Sounds like a good idea! If the comments are already checked into the repo
with the code, then there is no problem copying it over to the Python-level
docstrings.
