I'll add the generation script, it looks like something that could be useful at 
some point in the future. I think there should be a human curator though, 
because the process is not completely automatic. For example, when the 
threshold is set to 50 I get this compilation error:

/jdk/src/hotspot/share/compiler/compilerEvent.cpp:59:36: error: redefinition of 
'phase_names' with a different type: 'GrowableArray<const char *> *' vs 'const 
char *[100]'
static GrowableArray<const char*>* phase_names = nullptr;
                                   ^
/jdk/src/hotspot/share/opto/phasetype.hpp:147:20: note: previous definition is 
here
static const char* phase_names[] = {


It could happen with any threshold, even 130 as the codebase evolves.
