They're all 4-letter animal names that allow us to quickly see what
"project" a task belongs to, from a workboard.  If you look at the first
column of our kanban board:
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/analytics-kanban/ you'll see that
there's a task for each animal.  We try to order these "project" tasks top
to bottom in order of decreasing priority.

This is just a somewhat silly thing we do and it helps us, but we don't
document it or spread it because we don't expect anyone else to follow the
convention.  Hope that helps :)
