Thank you for working on this.

We don't need the list of packages to be machine-readable.  We just need
it to generate a "to-do list" for pkg-emacsen team members.  So how
about outputting it in ikiwiki's table format?[1]  Then we can add it to
our team wiki[2] (after enabling the table plug-in).

Good.  It sounds we need to add those to our list.
