I could also help in this task as sometimes I have some free time and
looking over those information would be possible in my (at the moment)
spare time for Debian QA. So if Michael is interested in doing this
job, he could contact me, so that we can divide the work between us.

And about this job, I remember that Thorsten Landschoff works sometimes
on this, when he is not away from his PC. So maybe you should contact
him to share the load.

Agreed and to make the job not so much work I made some comments about
sharing the load, so that it easier to do.
