Currently, if a tool importer fails, the only record of the failure is in the monq_task record.  Failures need to be caught and the users notified in some way.  A catch-all should be put in place in the `import_tool` task, but individual tools may want to handle reporting differently, such as the repo clone failure notification that is already in place and we need to ensure that the catch-all doesn't duplicate any per-tool handling.

Partial imports also need to be considered and we might want to decide if a partially failed import is worth rolling back the entire tool import or if the importer should handle a failed ticket, e.g., gracefully and continue to import the rest of the tickets if possible.
