Alternative format besides Excel?

[oxr463]

First, thank you for taking the time to create this checklist; this is a really helpful resource.

However, I do think that it may be wise to possibly investigate generating a spreadsheet from markdown, or another text-based format. There are several benefits gained by this:

• Easier contributions; PR's can literally be made from the Github website.

• Easier manipulation and parsing, e.g., via grep, sed, etc.

• No more binaries stored in the git repository; this is just not a good practice.
