In general, anyone who publishes in astroinformatics releases code for the purposes of peer review, but this is often just a tarball of a code folder and doesn't include any sort of revision history or ongoing support. There are a few big names (MESA and IRAF come to mind) who offer what I'd refer to as "proper open-source projects". Much like these better-known projects, we offer a version-controlled code base and a level of ongoing support. For the record, most of this lab note was inspired by this article (http://ivory.idyll.org/blog/vms-considered-harmful.html) which outlines some of the issues with software releases in bioinformatics.
