+On 2022-08-11, realized that we had a "gap" in the changelog: after a VM
+reboot, the postgresql primary key sequence for the 'changelog' table had been
+incremented, but rows were not inserted (transaction hadn't finished).
+
+This was a known potential problem (naively relying on the sequence to
+increment with no gaps).
+
+As a work-around, implemented a simple "gap filler" which will create
+empty/dummy editgroups and changelog entries.
+
+This gap extends from 6153703 to 6153721, so just a couple dozen entries. The
+fixup command was:
+
+ ./target/release/fatcat-doctor backfill-changelog-gap 6153702 6153721
