I see the following solutions:

1) Use the current script parse-advisory.pl. It may be ugly but it does the
  trick in nearly all cases. DSA's are committed automatically and the web
  team reads the commit diffs and corrects after the fact if needed.

2) A hybrid approach combining parse-advisory with as much structured
  information as is available. dsa2list could be a good starting point.

3) Only use structured information on the website, and link to the
  mailinglist for the full text. This has the drawback of missing
  translatability but should make it fully automated even without need
  for review.

Another possibility would be to define a new standard format which can generate both the DSA and the web page.
