Exactly this is done by the DCL - DARC Contest Logbook.
DARC automatically puts all confirmed contest QSOs into the DCL
database. Besides this they also import the big CQ contest logs (only
confirmed contacts, i.e. matching logs in there). Furthermore you can
import your LoTW QSLs into DCL as well as push eQSLs into it.
So effectively you get the best from all worlds. You can use all these
QSO/L credits then to apply for all the major DARC awards and a few
more, all completely electronically.
If you wanna check it out: http://dcl.darc.de/~dcl/public/index.php
It's open to everybody so it might be a good idea to get your account if
you ever wanted to apply i.e. for WAE, DLD, etc.

Want to increase contest interest and participation? Wrap ARRL's
Logbook of the World into all major contests. Let the contest sponsor
automatically load all submitted contest entries into LotW.
CQ, and all the other major contest sponsors other than ARRL, would
have to cooperate. Why wouldn't they? Contest entrants could be
allowed to opt out, but why would they? ARRL's requirements for LotW
registration are fine and I agree with them, but surely a submitted
contest log would be adequate proof that the log and QSOs are
legitimate. After all, it's only a hobby.
Then, maybe allow LotW confirmed QSOs for more awards: WAZ, USA-CA, etc.
Paper QSLs are so 20th Century and too much expense and bother. We did
away with paper logs more than 20 years ago. Isn't it time we did the
same with paper QSLs?
