... I'll take a look at Faebot keeping a table regularly synchronized on meta using the Google spreadsheets API.
For anyone that may be interested in seeing which WMF employees have what advanced permissions, there is now a wikitable on meta automatically generated from the Google spreadsheet that the WMF maintains.
The table is at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WMF_Advanced_Permissions
I don't want to encourage folks to start relying on Google spreadsheets(!), however keeping spreadsheets like this in-sync with on-wiki tables is not a new issue. Anyone interested in how I did it can find a copy of the Python script at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Faebot/code/advanced_permissions
I have also asked for a meta bot flag, as I'm planning for Faebot to check/update the table once a week: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Meta:Requests_for_bot_status#Faebot
