That would be great!  Another thing that needs to be updated is in 
unusual_devs.h, where it says:

 * Send your submission to either Phil Dibowitz  or
 * Alan Stern , and don't forget to CC: the
 * USB development list  and the USB storage list
 * 

We should remove the personal email addresses and just keep the mailing 
lists.  Maybe even remove the usb-storage list, since it's not used for 
very much any more.

Alan, this might also be a good time to remove the "Please see [...]
for more information" bits also.  That URL hasn't worked for well,
a very very long time.
