Actually, that was the case for the static page (I really, really
didn't want to have to spend a lot of time trying to keep that big
blob of html in good shape), but that's no longer the case. It doesn't
require much work for me to add & modify submissions (it's just a
db-update 'entry, after I make sure it's well-formed), so I don't
think the need for total automation is really pressing right now.

I don't think there are any robust implementations for scheme right
now; there are elisp implementations, but I haven't taken the time to
look closely at the bits that do the complex handling (the general
module is pretty much the same as the rfc882.scm that's in the
guile-projects tarball; it's the bits that actually understand the
headers that are more difficult).
