I'd be interested in your thoughts about what such a tool should do. 
We've been evolving over the years in terms of what and how much 
information we keep about CAs, and certainly the system we have now is 
far from perfect.

Note that one key interest of mine is finding ways for more people to 
contribute information about CAs without having to have one person 
(e.g., me) do all the work in publishing that information. We'd 
previously discussed keeping CA-related information on the 
wiki.mozilla.org site, but Nelson and other had (IMO legitimate) 
concerns about having things like certificates and SHA-1 fingerprints be 
on a site that anyone could easily modify.
