The way this is normally done is to have somebody write down a list of features
specified in the document. Then a call goes out and implementors respond with a
line by line list of the stuff they implement.

Constructing the list is something of an art. Making it too general is bad --
you cannot just say "Yes/No implement everything in the document". But too much
detail is also bad -- you don't want to check for every line of ABNF, for
example.

I'd suggest breaking 2822 down into functional areas and having one entry on
the list for each.

The usual people who do this are the chairs or former chairs of the WG which
produced the specification, but in practice anyone with the necessary expertise
can do it. I did the list for NOTARY, for example.
