Hi, Martin
Isn't there a central FOSS repository of USB data already?
http://www.linux-usb.org/
http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/
but see:

How does your effort fit in there for 'upstreaming' data to
them (so that in time it will 'just be there' when
distributions pick up new updates)?
Obviously the additional device specific data [cdma/wifi/gsm]
may not be well so suited to maintaining upstream.
