You could try to partially reuse: https://github.com/github/gitignore Which try to be a gitignore database.

Yep, that's where I got the core of the templates. They don't accept all .gitignore templates though unless you provide

> Up-to-date, canonical documentation that mentions the files to be ignored

As @mschuster91 suggested, I need a way to accept submissions that aren't in the github/gitignore database.
