Almost everything you suggest here is already done. AFRINIC publishes 
statistics every day and they document the size and date of allocations and 
assignments. There's an explanation of what is published here:

ftp://ftp.afrinic.net/stats/afrinic/README-EXTENDED.txt

and here is a yesterday's report:

ftp://ftp.afrinic.net/stats/afrinic/2014/delegated-afrinic-extended-20141106

The main difference is that the data are published as an archive of daily CSV 
files rather than e-mail announcements.

Regards,
