Nice lists!

Maybe you can enable the GitHub wiki so that others can edit them using "Markdown" too?

The lists are provided in yet another plain text format (YAML). Reading them using the GitHub website is not so nice, and it feels weird especially as it's about Markdown a direct format-competitor..

If there were only that much support for YAML (as regards parsers, stylesheets, and integration in e.g. Github), as there is for MD…

IMO, Markdown is for text (i.e. continuous reading), while YAML is for structured data (not sequentially read, but randomly accessed/queried).
