That would not be enough. The /etc/X11/XF86Config file contains modelines which change according to the Monitor that is selected. If you see closely, every "Monitor" section has a set of default modelines which are not the same for different monitors.
I know because I tried to copy the information you mentioned from my neighbouring PC, in order to configure my monitor, since there is no Xconfigurator in Debian. It wouldn't work, until I looked closely at my XF86Config file and read the commented documentation about modelines.
So if you really want to create a database, you will have to ask people to send their entire "Monitor" section from the XF86Config file.
