I contacted them and the thing they said there is no way for it to come
from an organization, but recommended creating a new user 'ironpythonbot'
and have it do the import. I have created such a user, and just need it
added to the organization (I don't seem to have that option, or am just not
seeing it on GitHub). I need to update my screen scraping to gather the XML
info as well as more info from the "Item Details" area. GitHub also said
that it is not possible to set the date/time of an issue via the API, so
all the issues will appear as coming from the same day.
