Is there really any reason not to just collect it while compiling
(using :keywords)? Beside the human work needed ... ;-)

(let ((n 0))
  (defun my-keyw ()
    (let (keywordlist docstr)
      (mapatoms
       (lambda (symbol)
         (when (functionp symbol)
           (setq n (1+ n))
           (put symbol 'my-keyw (list 'test 'ing)))))))

  (benchmark 1 '(my-keyw))
  (message "n=%s" n))

This takes 0.2 s for 12000 functions.
