I've ended up hacking my way through this [1] (very much a
work-in-progress), which has made it possible to extract editors and
their affiliations from 313 specs, with a few miss (whose affiliation
appear as "undetermined" in the attached data - available both as JSON
and CSV).

This is still very much a ad-hoc process, and more importantly, it
extract data "only" from 313 specs in browser-specs [2], which means
both that there are a few browser-specs specs from which it couldn't
extract the information, and more importantly, that it isn't looking at
the many known W3C specs that aren't in browser-specs, and even less so
at the many other specs (e.g. from CGs) that aren't in browser-specs.

It would be relatively easy to add the known W3C specs that aren't in
browser-specs; much harder to get data from other CGs specs since I
don't think we have a good mechanism to track their existence at this
point (although the data collected by the CG monitor [3] might be a
starting point).

I'll wait to see if this data is useful and used before looking into
making the whole thing more robust.
