Rebecca Hauck wrote the original version of the script and it's been
evolving since through the normal Blink/WebKit dev processes. You can find
it here:

https://src.chromium.org/viewvc/blink/trunk/Tools/Scripts/import-w3c-tests
https://src.chromium.org/viewvc/blink/trunk/Tools/Scripts/webkitpy/w3c/

and a virtually identical (though slightly older version) exists at a
similar location in the WebKit repo. It would be straightforward to adapt
it to other browsers, although the current version has a few small
dependencies on other parts of Blink/WebKit's python infrastructure.

I wouldn't necessarily encourage anyone to play with it just yet, as I'll
hopefully have something running fully soon, so you might as well wait
until then.
