Thanks everybody involved in advancing this.
Looks good to me.
I would suggest to add a README txt file to the website repo, detailing
how to curate/update the list. That README file may list the
examples/details of the criteria that you already gave, or just link to
this mail thread in the web archives, so (new) people can know how to
update the list in the future.
Thanks!
