They claim to be a public repository of all known ID's used in USB devices: ID's of vendors, devices, subsystems and device classes. It is used in various programs (e.g., The USB Utilities) to display full human-readable names instead of cryptic numeric codes. It is using the new PCI IDs web interface.
You can use our web interface to browse the lists and also to submit new entries or to update the existing ones or you can go directly to your profile or notification list. I've tried emailing with not repsonse.

I've also tried teh "Submit New Data" and here is their claim:
The database is maintained by volunteers like you, so if you have any devices which are not identified properly, please help us by adding them to the database or by fixing the existing entry.
New entries are always welcome, but please submit only accurate information – descriptions like "unknown modem device" are hardly useful for anybody. Updates of existing entries to clarify the description or to correct mistakes are also welcome, but in this case please always add a discussion comment explaining the reason for the change.
Updates can be submitted either via the web interface, or as patches to the usb.ids
file sent by e-mail to our mail robot at linux.usb.ids@gmail.com
None of my suggestions have been updated nor have i received a reply.
Don't waste your time!
