No more spreadsheets - show list totals in Trello instead

Many people store numbers or points on their Trello cards. Uses vary, from Scrum story points to costs in a budget planner. Wouldn't it be great if you could sum up all these values and show the list total at the top of the Trello list instead? It would mean you don't need to keep a separate spreadsheet for basic calculations. Trello doesn't offer list totals out of the box, so how could you make this work?
