My own list, for the UK and not Ubuntu specific:
http://technolalia.org/resources/uklinuxhardware.html
LXer list (covers much of the world, and specifies distro):
http://lxer.com/module/forums/t/23168/

I feel that the large job is not listing or tabulating the data, but
simply getting Ubuntu pre-installed by vendors. In the meantime, the
Ubuntu website should have a list of hardware vendors, just as it does
with service partners.
