(Migrated from github.com)

As a contributor to the security tracker, I want to have some sample data readily available so I can test out my code without having to process large amounts of data.

Rationale:

Mock data is not good enough, we have found that the challenge is finding what real-world data looks like
Manually curating a set of data (except for internal tests) doesn't scale because we can expect the schema to still change
We want something quick and cheap, so subsampling from "entry points", e.g. suggestions or full issues may do the trick

Acceptance criteria

Given there's a live deployment of the security tracker,
When I want to run a development instance (e.g. locally),
Then there is a database dump with some life-like data following the latest schema available and linked in contributor documentation.
