A heads up to anyone who uses these, builds packages for them, etc: after a bit of tlc they have been moved to their own repo in the 'master' branch: clone from gerrit:
operations/dumps/import-tools.git
or browse at
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/ODIM/
Patches to gerrit, bug reports to phab as before, except that I'l be a bit more attentive to them now that these scripts are being treated as semi-real tools instead of toys.
