The menu package has a entry for mini-icons.

?package(xisp):needs=X11 section=Apps/Net\
  title="xisp" icon="mini-xisp.xpm" command="/usr/X11R6/bin/xisp"

Maybe it can also be extended to specify normal size icons. Many
application provide embended icons, and if they don't, then most
likely the upstream author doesn't provide an icon. I am not an
artist, ao I can't create a decent icon. What should I do in this
case?

But I like the idea in general.
