I imagine a tool that can
- parse X.509 certificates to extract notAfter dates
- read e-mail addresses from subject DN, subjectAltNames etc.
- override (if an address was found in the certificate) or configure
e-mail addresses of responsible persons for each individual certificate
- "harvest" certificates through file import in any of the usual
formats, SSL/TLS handshake (direct on the port or maybe even via
STARTTLS and the like) and optionally even other ways (like directory
search, CA database import, CMS/SMIME with embedded certificates, ...)

Maybe I would even start a project to develop such a tool. But why start
coding if there already is a >=80% solution to the problem? Hence my
request.

You are right, strictly speaking this is not about crypto.
But since this list has seen some nagging about SSL/TLS and (public) PKI
in the past, I thought this question might be somewhat appropriate.
