We could also leave out unnecessary spaces:
"person1"={amount=123,paid=2020-06-08}

I'm adding a commented version of the above to this bug so we can try it out.

I strongly think we should not use implicit field naming, though I'm fine with
coming up with shorter names.

Do we really need 2 dates for every payment, can't we just rely on bugzilla's
history function or just asking the relevant person if we really need the
submitted date for a payment that's already paid?

I shortened the bugzilla field short descriptions as part of mitigating that:
cf_nlnet_milestone:
    NLnet milestone
cf_total_budget:
    total budget (EUR) for completion of task and all subtasks
cf_budget:
    budget (EUR) for this task, excluding subtasks' budget
cf_budget_parent:
    parent task for budget allocation
cf_payees_list:
    The table of payments (in EUR) for this task; TOML format
