I'd suggest make it a modification of bbdb [1] and send a patch
against bbdb cvs to bbdb-info-5NWGOfrQmneRv+LV9MX5uti2KpX7p8Fi@public.gmane.org

[1] That is, provide the function, some customization, and preferably
    documentation, too. Get it there, I'm sure people will like it and
    help with open issues.
