Yes, oddly enough things I think OneRNG is good at:
* Entropy Sources (e.g. Avalanche/RF)
** Configurable by user (i.e. choose which sources to use)
* Raw output available (i.e. mode with no whitening)
** Whitening method (e.g. CRC16, AES)
* Firmware updateable?
** Updatable over USB?
* Firmware signature able to be verified by user?

Collect the official website & contact details, and when you add more
columns you'll be able to let manufacturers know.

Possibly also keep the raw data files publicaly available on something like
Amazon S3, so others can analyse them with new tools.
