A fair question given that there are no route6 objects in arin.db.

Got a maintainer object in the arin component?  Why not try creating
one?  Format is mostly the same as a route object.  See here for more
details:
http://www.apnic.net/db/ref/attributes/attributes-route6.html#mandatory

I don't have an arin maintainer object or I would try this myself.  I
use altdb, which has over 3x as many route6 objects as radb does, and
approaching as many as apnic.

Maybe you'll be the first in the arin component!
