Is it possible to add an affiliation to the DESCRIPTION-file of an R-package?

Question

I wonder if it is possible to add an affiliation (company/institute/university) to the DESCRIPTION-file of an R-package?

I found this (quasi) idendical question. The question is five years old now and I wonder if in the meanwhile there is a better answer than "Write a [package name].Rd topic, and put the information in there. It won't show up on the title page of the reference manual, but it will be the first topic." If I look at the Section 1.1.1. of the "Writing R Extensions"-document I find no hint about an affilition.

Answer 1

Yes, this is possible using the comment parameter of person in Authors@R. Now the questions what the purpose of giving that affiliation is, how it could impact the license, and what CRAN's position on this is are all important follow-up questions that I can't answer.
