I don't think that a wiki page for HardwareSupport is that a good idea

[Ben Edwards]

I totaly agree, problem is it is not possible in the wiki.  It needs a
webapp building.  I think such a webapp whould be built and if it is
it will be another good reason for people to use Ubuntu (i.e. it is
easy to find which hw is supported).

I would offer to build in but I think a python solution would be
wanted - I would do it in PHP.
