Dear Michael

The list of attributes to add using the webupdates form is generated
from the syntax xml files in the whois server code. This is done by the
perl RPSL object library, Net::Whois::RIPE::RPSL. To add a new attribute
as you suggested will require a change to the overall syntax scheme. It
is not possible to just add a new attribute to the webupdates form.

While we can offer some support to users wishing to install and run the
RIPE Database code, on a best effort basis, we don't have the resources
to assist with customising it beyond giving some pointers on where to
look. I hope this will be of some help to you.
