I think it covers part of the 'gather data', no? :-) I had assumed the census tool handles the 'send it' somewhere. As part of the kernel CI work I am doing internally, we are trying to figure out a more universal way of exchange machine info when providing feedback that a test or patch broke. Lots of folks have been using lshw. This has made it easier to write scripts on top of that output compared to various custom output. It isn't perfect, but it seems to do a reasonable job today.
