open source projects also got one private repo for security, finances,
and other non-public issues)

CSV is simple text and can still be used by spreadsheet programs.

Yes, changesets was the point.  I suppose that there is not going to

Every PSC meeting that has a report about finances could be a prompt
for PSC members to copy the repo somewhere.
