I was about to hack a perl script that will parse errata.html and compare it to
a previous rev. if changes are detected it will email etc. and maybe even
download patches/ initiate a cvs up -rOPENBSD...etc. 

Is anybody aware of such work so to avoid reinventing the wheel and avoiding to
spill my (bad) code ?

yes. the last I discussed with some of the developers, word was that
security-announce was not handled properly (as you may have noticed). They were
conscious of the problem and they'll probably do something about it.
