Even if that stuff isn't currently known to code.dlang.org, it'd all be 
easy for it to obtain:

$ mkdir some_temp && cd some_temp
$ git clone package_URL dir && cd dir
$ dmd (flags dub already knows) -v | grep import

Would only need to do that when it detects a new version tag (which it 
already detects).
