Looks great! Thanks Andrew. I might see if I can clean up the directory structure to better organize all the different GeoReport specs, but I'll go ahead and merge this first.

I think the "status" field should only allow values "open" or "closed" from the GeoReport v2 spec so that consumers of the bulk data can make sense of the status information without any per-jurisdiction customization (and ongoing maintenance when the jurisdiction adds or changes wording of its possible textual status expressions).

More fine-grained status expressions like "Processing" or "Hold" should either go in status_notes, or possibly be stored in another, optional, field. I suggest the name "status_description" for putting such expressions in another field; this suggests the relationship to "status" and that it is textual (i.e., likely to contain words in the primary language of the relevant jurisdiction or customer who created the request).
