I was also thinking about the value of people being able to do PRs on their own data to keep the list up to date.  However, the data model includes a contact name and email we would like to start collecting, but not publishing, so that we can get in touch with operators if it looks like updates are required.  Even though we intend for that to be a role contact (e.g. Hostmaster, NOC) it still runs the risk that someone includes an individual's contact info, and then we're up against PII issues.

Oh... and forgot a thing (swamped, remember?) :)

There's an authentication issue, as well.  I can exchange email with someone at their organization email address and be reasonably sure I'm talking to someone at that organization.  That's harder with a PR on GitHub, especially as a lot of people might use their personal GitHub login.

We could require signed commits, but there still needs to be a way to associate that back to the org that is theoretically making the listing.

I'm not well versed enough in a lot of deep git-foo to know whether there's already a solution to that.  So again, if anyone has input ...
