It is a community,and you’ve gotten several recommendations for some ways to solve your problem. When what is needed is just a push or something that will help lots of users the feature may be added, but what you need is fairly specific to your case. The plugin that you describe is fairly complex and what is needed is a few days of a programmer’s time, not just a clever idea or insight into how discourse works.

And while the software is free, several here in this community make a living producing and supporting it.

I think that your best cheapest solution is an API call to set the group membership You can almost do it from the spreadsheet itself, but I think that the call you need to make is a post and that all you can get the spreadsheet to do is a get.
