Description
As far as I can see versions.json 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), as an entry with "arch": "source" or something like that.

Research direction
Start by inspecting the code that generates versions.json and how binary distribution entries are assembled. Confirm the source code tarball used by Download Julia, then verify that generated output includes it as an entry with an arch value such as source.
