Seeing dependent packages on GitHub

I just learned that GitHub can automatically parse dependents of a repo for some languages, and display them on the landing page in a neat little “Used by” tab:

Dependency graph supported package ecosystems - GitHub Docs

Does anyone know how to lobby for Julia support there? It would essentially be like JuliaHub’s dependents tab but right there on GitHub.

FWIW, here are the docs for the REST API for submitting project dependencies:

It would essentially be like JuliaHub’s dependents tab but right there on GitHub.

Another feature that Github seems to offer here is SBOM export and Dependabot security notices for dependencies.
