Unless I'm misreading my death dumps (or I've incorporated a
non-standard option in my rcfile), 0.5 tracks money spent:

(From
http://crawl.akrasiac.org/rawdata/Stormfox/morgue-Stormfox-20090714-1...)

You collected 547 gold pieces.
You spent 370 gold pieces at shops.

Shouldn't be terribly hard to extract, but see my next comment down...

Grep morgue files for "a +8 .* barding (worn)"...? (I have no idea how
your various scripts process the logs to generate stats on the site, so
what seems obvious and simple may be anything but.)

Probably. But if you're looking for silly achievements for no points,
these are way up there on the silly scale.

The way I've seen things, the "others" category tracks, ahem,
"accidents" that happen to monsters...walking into blade traps, hitting
themselves while confused, that sort of thing. Again, if confusing them
into lava counts, fuggedaboudit...way too scummy.
