assembly-src task (a merged sources artifact)

I'm uploading an assembled artifact to our internal Maven repo, and would like to include a -sources.jar that was the merged sources of the main project + the dependencies that end up in the assembly jar.

assembly-src would be analogous to package-src as assembly is to package, except Scala library source should not be included by default. Likely it would expand AssemblyOption, which currently works like this:

    assemblyOption in assembly <<= (assembleArtifact in packageBin,
        assembleArtifact in packageScala, assembleArtifact in packageDependency, excludedFiles in assembly) {
      (includeBin, includeScala, includeDeps, exclude) =>   
      AssemblyOption(includeBin, includeScala, includeDeps, exclude) 
    },
    assemblyOption in packageDependency <<= (assemblyOption in assembly) { opt =>
      opt.copy(includeBin = false, includeScala = true, includeDependency = true)
    },
    assemblyOption in packageScala <<= (assemblyOption in assembly) { opt =>
      opt.copy(includeBin = false, includeScala = true, includeDependency = false)
    },

The build user should be able to control the default assembly behavior by setting:

assembleArtifact in packageSource := true

assembleArtifact in packageDependencySource := true

In other words, assemblySource would be a specialized version of assemblyOption:

    assemblyOption in assemblySource <<= (assemblyOption in assembly) { opt =>
      opt.copy(includeBin = false, includeScala = false, includeDependency = false,
        includeSource = true, includeDependencySource = true)
    },

I'm not seeing any movement on this, so I'm closing this for now.
