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  and 
cc Heather Piwowar .

( *Stefan, perhaps repost the meaning as a compelling new topic so that 
more people know and may email. *)

Andreas,

I find this on-topic.  Depsy is built and run by Impactstory and funded by the 
National Science Foundation.  They give as a contact 
email t...@impactstory.org.
I sent a brief note as an interested third party (my tax dollars at work).

Thanks,

Jeffrey Sarnoff
