It's worth noting that Francis Irving is not just any man, but an uber-nerd who founded Scraperwiki (https://scraperwiki.com/about/ ) was part of the team that built They Work For You (http://www.theyworkforyou.com/about/ ) and other egovernment sites.

Then again, perhaps this note is moot. After all, using github issues to track house repair is probably all the bona fides one needs as an uber-nerd.
