i dont consider the patch to be an improvement; just because it
is making the process more complex - i could have put the
verbose commands in that README originally - as a matter of
abstraction, i added the HACKERS dict to make the process simpler
and easier to remember

that is defined here:

https://git.parabola.nu/server/redmine.git/tree/config/initializers/constants.rb?h=parabola#n127

if HACKERS['gnutoo'] returned nil, that indicates a bug in the
HACKERS code, or in libretools, where it gets the data from

a real improvement here, would be to simplify the process even
more, with a script which does the entire job - instead of
./enter-rails-console plus the manual typing, one could simply
run ./make-me-web-admin 'gnutoo'; which abstracts the entire
procedure

it was just a matter of the usual trade-off of "how much code to
write" vs "how many caveats to document", and "how much time
should i spend on either"
