When I was try to get "Who Owns What" working, I ran into the difficulty of
parsing the wiki page. At that glob suggested making "Who Owns What" the
primary storage for Module Owners/Peers information. It solves two problems
at once as far as I'm concerned. It can provide an API interface for people
to query the data in it (which I was planning for), we can use it to
generate the existing wiki page, and it can let us build an easily
searchable interface for module and their peers.

Of course, this means custom work and maintaining yet another
service/website. So I'm open to be told I'm completely wrong.
