Off topic, but this made me think that it would be neat if libraries on places like github and nuget could someout include "cited by" data. Something that referenced open source (maybe closed source too) projects that had a dependency to the library similar to google scholar or CiteSeerX.

You can get a DOI for github.

Then what? There's nothing magical about DOIs. You need someone to store the citation metadata. And generate / deposit citation metadata. And maintain the persistence of the DOI. What precisely does the DOI represent? A codebase? A fork of it? A file? A file at a particular revision? A changeset?
