Even if not automatic, I suppose one can always report a document manually 
to ADS. Maybe Jessica Mink or Arnold Rots can contact some ADS person in 
house ?

About getting a DOI a quick search finds

I'll have a look to the Crossref and DataCite pages for conditions

Incidentally, my institution is setting up an "open access server" 
(apparently there is now a legal obligation to publish open-access) and we 
are feeding it with our 2015-2019 authored and coauthored stuff (since it 
will be required for a national research quality evaluation). I asked how 
could refer to FITS 4.0 in such context.

maybe I am oldfashioned, but I always interpreted arXiv as a replacement 
for the old "preprints" (the ones sent by surface mail !) i.e. I submit to 
arXiv only papers once accepted in a refereed journal or conference 
proceedings once submitted. I do not see arXiv as a way to bypass usual 
peer review. This approach is part of the rules in several collaborations.

But you know who can, and could contact him/her ?
