Automatic NOTICE and LICENCE verification and generation?

I have been searching for a way to automated the generation and
verification of NOTICE and LICENCE files (data could be in a pom or some
other format) for the kafka podling. The closest I could find was the
as yet un-released whisker [1] and a maven-notice-plugin [2]. Based on
the sparsity of reference neither of these appears to be widely used
yet. The License Maven Plugin [3] also calculates all of the required
information to do what it already does, but as far as I can tell does
not already generate an all-in-one licence or notice file.

What program do incubator members or TLPs use to generate and verify
these files? If no complete program yet exists, is there a file that
lists which lisences should be in LICENCE versus also in NOTICE per
http://apache.org/legal/resolved.html#required-third-party-notices ?
