METADATA
More of a conversation starter than suggestion. I was browsing google/fonts repo & found they track font details with METADATA.pb files. Could help with all that font info you're trying to track. I think add homepage & repopage fields...
Those files seem to be mostly names and weights. There is some information about the character set support that might be useful. I will look into it in more detail.
Tom, you might be interested in this new tool that we just released:

Thanks for thinking about me! So programmatically make any font monospaced? That's neat. Needs hand-tweaking to look right, or mostly automatic?

It won't make any font monospaced, it adjusts any font's vertical metrics so that you can modify the vertical line spacing (tighter vs. looser)
The current approach is based on the % UPM height to define the automated approach to the line spacing that you'd like. You can view vertical metrics values in any font with the font-line report sub-command. Full docs on the README page.
