Describe the bug
I am using the Pivotal Tracker importer to import projects from Pivotal Tracker which is being shut down by Broadcom at the end of April 2025.
The importer tool seems great! It has imported hundreds of stories, epics, comments, tags, history and so on, in my initial test.
The problem I have, is that it is bombing out on this exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/taiga-back/manage.py", line 17, in <module>

~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^
KeyError: 'person'
There must be a peculiar comment in a specific story but I don't know which. It has imported many other comments so I know it generally is working fine.
The problem is obviously with the data returned from Pivotal. I can't do much about that. But I wondered if a Taiga developer could help me work around this problem in the importer code? Perhaps we can just 'skip' on KeyError rather than fatally error out?
How would I go about editing the code? I am running the command like this:
./taiga-manage.sh import_from_pivotal --token xxxx --project-id xxx
When I do that, it spins up an instance of taiga-back as a container. I am not building my own image, I'm using the official ones. What's the easiest way for me to perhaps tweak the code? Can I run it directly within the container, perhaps?
Thanks so much for writing this importer! It is looking like it will be a life saver! With Pivotal shutting down, I am sure I won't be the last person looking to migrate to Taiga. :)
