I think my question was not clear enough, sorry about that; let me try
to restate it. I'm very much aware of the fact that the current most
appropriate way to update that page is properly mentioned on the page.
IIRC I've also posted to the contact address some derivatives a few
weeks ago, when I got interested in this derivatives thingie.
However, in spite of that contact address, that page does not currently
seem up to date (at least to me, but I might be wrong of course). So my
question was more on the lines of « can we do any better than the
current way of maintaining that page, so that the page gets up to date
*again* ? ».

I completely agree with these concerns.
Once more: I believe the crux is more in how do we send out the message
"Debian wants to do a one-shot derivatives census, to get its indexes up
to date again", than in how we technically collect the results.
Cheers.
