Will support for the OSV format/language be added to the "languages" section that's normally on the right?

I'm mostly joking, although I do look at that immediately for any new repo because I'm starting to realize that the interest level of the project is directly related to the language(s) it uses.

We do want to expand the number of ecosystems we support, but need to balance that with making sure the data on existing ecosystems is complete and high quality.

Right now, our focus is on going deep for a smaller number of ecosystems before going broad. The intention is that anyone using one of the languages in the current list feels “fully covered” by the data in the database.
