That sounds useful; is it maintained by hand, or does it extract the
useful information from the SRFI sources (HTML) ?

It's also only for the procedures/macros, etc., not the explanatory text
of SRFI itself, which I've used to documented e.g. SRFI 64 in Guile
(converted from HTML via the snarfi hack/script linked earlier).
