Regarding highlighting of the Yes/No/NA-boxes, feel free to
add something in the CSS. We already have something called a
task-table but it is only suitable to highlight a complete row
(you set the class "completed" on the <tr> element as far as I
understand). How about something like this?
Not a strong opinion, but between two of these options I like the
colored backgrounds more. Both of them are readable, but the
background variant does that without adding visual glyphs to every
row.
But I am fine with both approaches.
I was slightly worried about the accessibility perspective but it
seems those colours provide a reasonable contrast. In addition the
colour is only a secondary way of conveying the information - the text
is also there.

I'm not an accessibility expert, just noting that the issue exists.
Another possible issue is that of contrast between background and text .
So let's go with this.
And please also fix that column title, we do not use Automake, perish
the thought. We use Autoconf and Libtool.

P.S.: We did use automake for a couple weeks ... that didn't end well :D
