Automatically Generate a Table with multiple rows and columns from keys in the .tex file

I would like to loop through a LaTeX document and collect every instance of a key with multiple entries.



i.e.



begin{document}
lipsum[1-1]
key{name=Peter, age=50, gender=male}
lipsum[1-1]
key{name=Max, age=20, gender=male}
lipsum[1-1]
key{name=Lena, age=90, gender=female}

makekeylist

end{document}


makekeylist should generate a tabularx like table with the above entries as well as theire respective page they apear first.



My tries to do this with makeidx so far did not yield a result - and I am a bit clueless towards the right ansatz.



Thanks for all help.
