Would it be possible to add the gateway status (actively registered or only imported)
somehow in the gateway list? And maybe to list gateways with a subnet within the
assigned address range for a coordinator?
If so, I could try to contact the gateway operators in my range to get them to register
or abandon their gateway entry.
