Feature request: Add GPEDC and GB flags to Publisher Statistics summary table

Can we investigate ...

With reference to Discuss thread - https://discuss.iatistandard.org/t/gpedc-transparency-indicator/1548

1. What is the best way of maintaining a list of publishers indicating their association with GPEDC Transparency Indicator and Grand Bargain?
2. What would be involved to add 2 columns to the summary statistics table to flag these associations?

What is the best way of maintaining a list of publishers indicating their association with GPEDC Transparency Indicator and Grand Bargain?

One option would be for this to live in config.py. #499 could help with that.

However, I think it would be preferable for this list to live inside version control.

Elsewhere in this repo, a spreadsheet is used to achieve something similar:
https://github.com/IATI/IATI-Dashboard/blob/8925fa23/dfi_publishers.csv

See #387 for details.

It’s good that this lives in version control, since it means errors are easier to spot (e.g. I wonder if that DFI list might need to be updated?)

I’d suggest the following:

• Replace with a single, general spreadsheet for these sorts of publisher-specific settings. E.g. a column for "DFI?"; a column for "GPEDC?"; a column for "GB?" etc.
• Add a note to the README reminding everyone to keep this spreadsheet up-to-date
• Present this information in the frontend explicitly, so it’s more transparent how it works / less magic. This would also help with debugging.

@bill-anderson maybe worth setting up a meeting next week when I'm back so we can discuss this internally.
