Hi all, I've written a short Python script that fetches the spreadsheet using the CSV link (as John suggested), and now updates the page at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WMF_Advanced_Permissions <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WMF_Advanced_Permissions>
The code is at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Mike_Peel/WMF_permissions_script <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Mike_Peel/WMF_permissions_script> Hope that helps!
