The triage level should now be properly set to what it was before. Thanks
to Andre for informing me of the number-to-string mapping. Triage levels
from before ~16:00 UTC may be incorrect.

Again there are some issues where the bot hits the rate limiting before
it's done with a given task, so *occasionally* it wouldn't have cleaned up
everything. I don't think you need to review every task the bot edited, but
keep an eye on the tasks you follow. I have slowed down the bot to try to
prevent this from happening.
