I logged in to svn-qavm3 and added it to crontab of user 'svnsvn':

# Update our Haxx-URL-to-Message-Id map (a manual cron entry, for now)
0 4 * * * fn=publish/.message-ids.tsv; cd ~/src/svn/site; svn up -q; tools/haxx-url-to-message-id.sh > $fn; svn ci -m "* $fn: Automatically regenerated" $fn

More could be done, of course. Robustness: teach it to only accumulate new entries, and not to wipe the file when there's a network glitch. The other cron entries are managed by Puppet, so presumably this should be too.
