There are other feasible approaches to make it human readable like
defining a maximum column width and either simple concat longer ones
(wouldn't require a special machine-readable option)

CSWmypkg   mypkg    1.2.3,REV=01.01.2001
CSWmylongpackage mylongpackage 2.3.4,REV=01.01.2001
CSWopkg    otherpkg 3.4.5,REV=01.02.2003

or skip with the field to the next line

CSWmypkg   mypkg    1.2.3,REV=01.01.2001
CSWmylongpackage
            mylongpackage
                     2.3.4,REV=01.01.2001
CSWopkg    otherpkg 3.4.5,REV=01.02.2003



Best regards
