I’ve written an importer that pulls in a database of email addresses and Bios and sticks the bio into the About (aka `bio_raw`) field. It works fine, but the bios don’t show up because they aren’t getting baked. Inquiring minds want to know:

- Will a `posts:rebake` rebake them?
- Is there a way to rebake just the bios (and not 230K posts)?
- Is there a way to trigger the rebake in the importer script?
- If I’m patient will sidekiq notice?
- Is there a question I should have asked other than these?
