Hm, right, I was just wondering who's going to collect the information
in the future.

If there's a database at the RFC Editor's, then it may be easier to
put the information there, even if it requires someone to write an
importer to scan through all the messages (we could scan them and
provide a tab-separated file for the initial import).

But if that's never going to happen and the Datatracker database will
be the main source for this information, then I need to start thinking
about what the script we're currently using should do.
