As far as using YAML instead of HTML, that would cause a slight change
to the output from grep-excuses.  However, I think it still maintains
all the salient information:

# New YAML-based version
$ ./scripts/grep-excuses.pl firefox
firefox (- to 51.0.1-3)
    Maintainer: Maintainers of Mozilla-related packages
    Too young, only 1 of 10 days old
    Not touching package due to block request by freeze (check https://release.debian.org/testing/freeze_policy.html if update is needed)
    firefox has new bugs!
    Updating firefox introduces new bugs: #813054, #817954, #849602
    Piuparts tested OK - https://piuparts.debian.org/sid/source/f/firefox.html

# Current HTML-based version
$ grep-excuses firefox
firefox (- to 51.0.1-3)
    Migration status: BLOCKED: Rejected/introduces a regression (please see below)
