[Devel] Recent errors

[Asheesh Laroia]

mr_website has been emailing a lot lately. A summary:

* Three users had locations stored in the database that were in Latin-1,
  but we assume UTF-8 everywhere. The bug that caused this is fixed and
  deployed. (It had to do with us getting Latin-1 values out of the MaxMind
  GeoIP database.)

* When someone runs an import on Github, invalid Github usernames cause
  an error log to be emailed. (Not a problem, really, though a cosmetic issue.)

* Over the weekend, we removed a template used by django_authopenid's code
  for the very simple OpenID login UI. Thinking about it now, we probably
  ought to remove that. Issue filed in Pivotal.

The last issue would have been fixed if we were testing all our views before
deploying. The first, well, is a bug in pygeoip, but also in the wrapper I
wrote.
