[Community-sigs] How to maintain human readable signature database?

[Do]

Hello Rafael,

Is it possible to convert YARA rules into ClamAV ones?
For use in earlier clamav versions, such as 0.98.

Also, I wonder if somebody successfuly used using template engines or macro
processors like jinja2 or even m4 for rule development.
