We are considering the same for GDAL and PROJ, but I fail to see how the 
DOI record of the github integration would then be connected with the 
one obtained through manual upload. I fear that we'd have to do a manual 
upload in the zenodo interface each time we issue a new release, which 
would a no-go as far as I'm concerned. Maybe that's just my ignorance of 
the system. I've been trying to simulate that on a fake project on 
https://sandbox.zenodo.org but without success.
