Hmm this might be a nice side project. I think we could start with the most common environments and build out from there. Based on some quick research this may be more automatable than you may think. Based on what I've seen most projects just are linking to the github archive and hardcoding a hash of the contents. If that's it, then it should be fairly reasonable to just update it. I'll do some more research and get back to you.
