Test suite passes now, but there may be some stuff left, so we will run
a few sites on a branch prior to merging

* a topic with the correct slug for the current default locale
* a topic with the correct slug for the English locale
* the oldest globally pinned topic
It gives up if it didn't find any of the above.
