Depsy responded. This service currently covers the 11,223 Python and R research software packages available on PyPi and CRAN They are open to including Julia. To allocate their scarce resources, they need to hear from many members of the Julia community:
Thanks for getting in touch! Very sorry for the delay in getting back to you, the post-release madness around Depsy caused us to miss some emails it looks like. Yes Julia absolutely fits our mission! We're looking to expand to other languages, and feedback from the community will be the main way we prioritize. So, your email counts as a +1 vote for Julia. Look at http://depsy.org/ to see how indexing the Julia package ecosystem software, authorship and papers can be good for the professional you. Email should be brief, addressed to Jason Priem <[email protected]> and cc Heather Piwowar <[email protected]>.
