I'd rather see that if a developer needs a new USE-flag he sends an email to the list requesting that USE-flag (or perhaps directly to Drobbins or Achim). This way we'll have a more controlled way of adding USE-flags and the USE-flag and a description can be added where it should be. I do however see a really good use for your script and that is being able to produce a list of which packages uses which USE-flags. This can be a nice feature for users unsure of what will happend if they enable a USE-flag.
