Maintenance log

Each maintenance run of the stores adds one entry here, newest first. A monthly run refreshes the GEO/SRA store and checks both stores. A yearly run adds the heavy checks and removes withdrawn SRA records. The steps are in Run the full download and Run the paper store.

Each check ends as pass, fail or skipped. A failed check links the issue filed for it.
