I've seen this mention a few times, and if anyone looks at brainstorm, I bet 
its already there:
Would it be of any interest having a tool (only on devel branches or the all 
time) that would gather the entire HW listing with FULL detail and upload it to 
some database?
Some improved version of hwtest-gtk, mixed with hwinfo and sysinfo (sysinfo as 
a great user UI and could also teach/report to the user about supported HW).

Maybe hook up hwtest-gtk to system 1st runs and kernel upgrades, and notify the 
user to run the tests, and send the report.

That's why I start testing in early development versions: so that stuff can be 
detected and users on a stable release dont find all those many bugs.
I've already upgraded my laptop to Jaunty. With this I can keep up the 
development, and help fix stuff before release
