Without having seen a patch, but I think you should replace the BOM
csv exporter in pcbnew's fabrication outputs.

What does the cell colors mean? I see empty cell for the datasheet,
where one is red the rest of the empty ones are yellow'ish. Is this
some of the group stuff?

How does the group thing work?
