Create an importer that given a github repo name imports the basic information
using the github API, into Allura. See ForgeImporter's entry points and the
`GoogleCodeProjectImporter` and `TracProjectImporter` classes as similar
examples.
Github doesn't have a lot of metadata. `description` can go into the "summary"
field. homepage can be set. The programming language could be mapped to a
programming language trove in Allura. But determining all those mappings (by
hand or with some algorithm) is going to be too much work, and not worth it I
think.
