Just as a data point, I've stumbled upon the business model factoids
of the JOSS "journal" that GitHub folks have recently setup to "publish"
FOSS projects as citable research artifacts:

  http://joss.theoj.org/about#business_model

it lists the fee (275$/year) they pay to be crossref members which, as I
understand it, is what allows them to assign DOIs to their papers.

Hope this helps,
Cheers.
