PRs welcome, although I think this is more suited to something like Wikidata. As I noted elsewhere, the lack of standard identifiers for devices makes this especially hard. Companies will often release the same hardware with different model numbers at different timelines and support cycles across different geographies.

The metric to track is probably “lifetime emissions”, which a few vendors report. The majority of these are actually from manufacturing and not lifetime, resulting in every upgrade becoming an emission spike(?)
