Taxonomic Summary List for each Contributor

Wouldn't it be wonderful if the Bugguide user page for each contributor contained a list of their image contributions in the form of a taxonomic list summary? The list would only represent images used on guide pages, not frassed images.

Example:

Arthropods>Hexapods>Insects>WingedInsects>TrueBugs>Lasiomerus>Lasiomerus_annulatus = Image(s)
1

If the user contributed more than one specimen for a genus or species, then each of these would be represented by a number following Image(s) 1 2 3 4, etc....

Is this too much to ask of Santa? ; )

Sounds a bit unwieldy to me
for example you have 40 pages of images under your information - that's close to 500 submissions (at twelve per page). Tom Murray, Jim McClarin and perhaps several others have many multiples of that.

 
Considering
that Bugguide is already set to produce the taxonomic summary when a photo is added to a guide page, and considering that the contributor of the photo is also associated with that page, it should be possible to create a taxonomic summary page for each contributor, no?
