sqlalchemy-migrate is unmaintained. This is a pretty big deal generally, but especially because we want to move to Python 3, and we can't without a way forward on migrations. Current sqlalchemy migration mindshare seems to be in ​Alembic, we should probably move that way?

The biggest barrier here is probably how much Alembic supports sqlite. We could really use someone to look into that.

I just pulled down mediagoblin from git onto a new box and noticed that mediagoblin.ini has a couple of non-ASCII curly quotes in the comments. In fresh-out-of-the-box vim, it looks like:

# It defines types and defaults so it�~@~Ys a good place to look for documentation # or to find hidden options that we didn�~@~Yt tell you about. :)
