Thanks for putting this together. Perhaps the I-D should refer to RFC
6667 and the rules therein under which circumstances new TZ names are
created. In fact, it seems that the maintenance really is in the hands
of the TZ Coordinator and IANA is essentially providing infrastructure
and the framework in which he does his work. So most likely, in
practical terms, the TZ coordinator would have to create the YANG
module as well. Since the database is in a machine readable form, I
guess what he likely need is an advanced version of your script that
automatically generates the YANG module and if it changes, it needs to
be pushed to the IANA place where the YANG modules are published.

In other words, I think some discussion with IANA and the current TZ
coordinator might be needed to come up with a workable procedure how
this would work.
