Hi Marcel, Thank you for sharing. I seem to some chatter about how nice it would be to have such a tool to manage this sort of thing in a more automated or structured way but people are, as always, quite busy. So it's great to see efforts being made.
One thought I'd had previously is that it would be nice to define a structured data format and have such a service pull the information from projects where possible. I.e. is the Cloudflare quiche project could host it's own JSON file on Github and then anyone, such as quic-explorer.net could consume it. Have you considered such an optional pull model?
