I have added pages for the above. Should all be visible from

If we are talking about abstract+DOI+citation I don't see much of an
issue with becoming outdated. it is mostly a matter of initial
"submission" -- it took me about a minute to paste the relevant bits into
the template. I imagine it would need A LOT of papers to justify the time
that would need to go into an automated submission machinery.
I'd assume that people who are interested enough to communicate their
research to Debian would also be able to invest this time -- as long as
they can easily find where and how to place this information. I have added
a snippet with instructions to the above page.
Of course this is not saying that making it even easier wouldn't be a
good thing.

Yes please!

Thanks for the note.
