I wanted to make the url legible to humans. "Michael_William_Kaluta" is way easier to read than "Michael%20William%20Kaluta". Spaces work, but they are terribly unfriendly. No one would ever put a url with such ugly unescaped characters on printed flyer or anything.

I'm not sure what your problem is with github. Don't you get emails for everything that happens? I do. You are an admin on this repo, but anyone who is [watching the repo](https://github.com/GrandComicsDatabase/gcd-django/watchers) should be receiving notifications by email. Even Lionel responded to the other pull request, which surprised me at first. You've got it backwards, imo. Github is super-easy to use and reviewboard is hard.
