There's a pretty similar format[0] that I made pocket-devotee[1] consume that we use for most CTTE votes (which are public, but have a limited number of voters). devotee itself uses its tally format which pocket-devotee also can consume. As far as developers of devotee, I think it's basically Kurt Roeckx and Manoj Srivastava. Not sure how active they are in voting theory.
