Slack Integration for OWASP projects with proper validation and import tools

This PR implements Slack channel integration for projects, based on #3232 with all review comments addressed and additional improvements.

Changes

Database Model

Added three new optional fields to the Project model:

• slack (URLField) - Full Slack channel URL
• slack_channel (CharField) - Channel name (e.g., "project-blt")
• slack_id (CharField, unique) - Channel ID for uniqueness

User Interface

Project Detail Page: Added a Slack button in the social links section with the proper Slack icon SVG (fixing the issue from the original PR which incorrectly used the Facebook icon).

Project Creation Form: Added an optional "Slack URL" input field that validates the URL format and accessibility before saving.

Backend Validation

Implemented validation in the project creation view to:

• Ensure Slack URLs start with http:// or https://
• Verify URL accessibility before accepting
• Return clear error messages on validation failure

Data Import Tool

Created a management command to import Slack channel data from CSV:

python manage.py import_slack_channels --csv-file project_channels.csv

The command:

• Matches projects by name (case-insensitive)
• Updates only existing projects
• Reports success/failure for each entry
• Handles 113 OWASP project Slack channels from the included CSV file

Testing

• ✅ Migration applies cleanly
• ✅ Model CRUD operations work correctly
• ✅ CSV import successfully updates projects
• ✅ Templates render without errors
• ✅ Code formatted with ruff, black and isort
• ✅ All linting checks pass (ruff, isort, djlint)
• ✅ No new test failures introduced

Improvements Over Original PR #3232

1. Fixed Slack Icon: Uses the correct Slack logo SVG instead of Facebook icon
2. Single Migration: Consolidated into one properly named migration file
3. Robust Validation: Added URL format and accessibility checks
4. Code Quality: Properly formatted and linted with ruff
5. Import Tool: Created reusable management command for CSV imports

Usage Example

After merging, projects can display their Slack channels:

• Users add a Slack URL when creating a project
• The Slack button appears on the project detail page
• Clicking opens the channel in a new tab
• Admins can bulk-import channels using the CSV file

Fixes #3198
Supersedes #3232

Original prompt
