On line 10 of serverinfo.lua, change this
stats
steamstats
In addition to that, you didn't mention that this wouldn't update until the server changes map.
This is ineffective for servers that don't often (or at all) change their maps.
You might want to include an automatic map reload when the server is empty (and other variables), but that could be up to the user.
Regardless, you must mention how it updates.
Furthermore, this is a very static way of doing this.
That means if the average kiddo tries to modify either serverinfo.txt or serverinfo.lua then they most likely will end up breaking something.
I do like the concept, but the execution is flawed.
I would much prefer if you had just added comments inside serverinfo.txt that will be read by serverinfo.lua to know when exactly to place each player.

And do this within Lua:
