Sure it is.

Why can't those those that need to pick out and make available a
complete set of all the GPL'ed code, for example, do something similar
to this:

	pax -wzf gpl-src.tar.gz $(cat gpl-src.list)

?????

The only "hard" part is keeping the list up to date, but if my other
suggestion were implemented then the list could be generated
automatically.
