How it works: Github Issues

---

1. For github issues, there is a bit of pre-processing so, the process is not very user friendly. The reason behind the pre-processing is that: github doesn't give away the email ids of issue commentors unless the commentor is you (if you are logged in) or if the commentor is the issue reporter himself. So, to overcome this problem, we will be taking email ids from their commits, if they have contributed to the project but if they haven't, : start panicking and read below.

2. We will have to run the script two times. The first time, it will generate a json file containing all the issue commentors with their details, if the emails are found, no edit for that particular commentor is required. Otherwise, you will have to manually fill the emails. Fullnames not required.

3. After running the program and answering the 'source' and 'items', you will be asked a question on whether you want to generate a json file for contributors and issue commentors. If you are running the script for github for the first time, the answer is 'y'.

4. The above step will create 3 different files: contributors.json issue_commentors.json and assembled_commentors.csv. The last file is where all the edit has to go. All the missing entries in the assembled commentors file has to be filled for the running of the script.

5. Run the script again, filling the same details but answer 'n' when asked for whether you want to create the json files. In this step, your local issues git repo gets updated with all the issues from github issue tracker.

6. Now push the local git repo changes to the remote repo on pagure. It will update the db and if the user is not found, it will create them from the details given.
