Having parsable info in [https://julialang-s3.julialang.org/bin/versions.json](https://julialang-s3.julialang.org/bin/versions.json) is awesome. As far as I can see it only includes the binary distributions. I think it would be nice if it also included the source code tarball (i.e. the one that is downloadable from [Download Julia](https://julialang.org/downloads/)), as an entry with `"arch": "source"` or something like that.

Would a request like that be welcome somewhere? If so where is the right place, e.g. [Issues · JuliaLang/julia · GitHub](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues)?
