The code itself may not be the best place for a newbie to look at. What about 
things that are already covered by an old ver or things that have been proven 
to fail? A second reason is that we could not practically have many patch 
DSDT's in our kernel (or can we?).
I wouldn't mind being one of the mainteners of the list, but I don't have much 
webspace for that. The best way could be to use this list (acpi-devel) to 
post requests like 'could you add the line "x-brand 2.5.x blah blah" to the 
table?' so that the maintener won't do much himself. Testing can not be done 
by one person, anyway.
One more way that the table won't get outdated is if we put it on an 
'official' server (like yours). This way readers will harass us about wrong 
entries.
