I see the potential benefits, but for past articles, I do suggest that
IPOL asks for the author's consent before publishing their LaTeX
sources. I hadn't expected my LaTeX sources to be distributed beyond
the IPOL tech team, and I might have cleaned up my comments and label
names better had I known they would be exposed to the world at large.
Maybe other authors feel the same way?

That would be really great, and for me a motivating reason to publish
LaTeX sources. What formats do they have in mind?

I really like this idea. Extracted references could be beautifully
listed below the PDF preview with clickable DOI links.
