In theory at least, the top-level NOTICE file (or README in released
versions of the code prior to the upcoming 1.9) should have all of the
licenses collected. We've attempted to keep it up to date as we've
added code with different licenses.
I'm not saying that as an objection to your proposal, just as something
that might save you time.
