org-export-generic can *almost* do this for you by carefully setting the
header open/close to simply be ", " for opening and a "\n" for closing
on header 2 (I think; haven't tested it).

But, it won't remove the text: prefix at the beginning of the fields.
It' be simple to pass the results through sed 's/, [^:]*:/,/g' though.
