The long and the short of it is that a list like this is only of value
if it gets diligently maintained. Putting the data in a different tool
changes nothing about that. (A tool might reduce the effort involved,
*if* it's a good match to your workflow. But it won't reduce the effort
to zero.)

Consulting the wiki page's edit history shows that Bruce has been
doing some maintenance work, but almost nobody else does. Evidently
that's not enough.

I'd be +1 for the "aggressive culling" suggested upthread, but
I'm not particularly volunteering to do it, either.
