What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?
I think the process to getting your package recognized from GitHub is not really explained, it says
If the dependency graph is enabled, and your repository contains a package that's published on a supported package ecosystem, GitHub displays a "Used by" section in the sidebar of the Code tab of your repository. For more information about the supported package ecosystems, see "About the dependency graph."
But then when checking the About the dependency graph
link, it only states how to parse DEPENDENCIES of a project, not how to get your project recognized as a possible dependency.

Currently I am trying to get a public repo of a PyPI library to show the Used by
section and I have had no luck on making it pick up the package.

Update from a maintainer
Content changes needed
- Dependencies view - update the first paragraph to make it clear that links are only shown if the package manager for the dependency links to the source code in a public repository on GitHub.
- Changing the "Used by" package - revise the first paragraph to make it clear that the "Used by" section is shown only if:
- Your repository contains a package that's published on a supported ecosystem.
- In the ecosystem, your package has a link to the a public repository in GitHub where the source is stored.
- Dependency graph is enabled for the repository.
