An even better way would be for them to offer to maintain the database as
the findstat project, for them to implement a wrapper around that database
in sage, and for something like sage-explorer (developed at Edinburgh) to
do all the let's-build-a-web-service part.
There would be good symbiosis with the LMFDB project (*).

This is indeed a good solution as a first step. The only obstacle was, and
is still (?) to manage to explain to others what it is that they are trying
to do, and why they are trying to do it that way and not some other clever
quick and dirty way. This takes time, effort, energy. Much more useful
would be to get quick help in making it happen the right way right away.

(*) Not quite. But the needs of LMFDB and findstat really do align.
