That example is just part of the problem; it's not enough to generate the web page you asked for. For example, the file that the script generates for Emacs (once you modify it to work for Emacs), is improperly encoded because some of the names are in UTF-8 and some use a different (non-ASCII) encoding. There are other glitches like that that would need to be addressed. Plus, surely we can do better than a plain text file listing one name per line. Furthermore, having just that script is not enough; there needs to be an automated way to generate the updated website. It's not a hard job to automate all this, but it is work that someone would need to do (and more importantly, test).
