The chances of an unpublished proposal appearing on the homepage was
very low because only the proposals with the most votes appear there and
unpublished proposals don't have any votes. However, it was technically
possible on new sites where only a few proposals had been created.
We were very inconsistent regarding these rules.
Personally I prefer no empty lines around blocks, clases, etc... as
recommended by the Ruby style guide [1], and they're the default values
in rubocop, so those are the settings I'm applying.
The exception is the `private` access modifier, since we were leaving
empty lines around it most of the time. That's the default rubocop rule
as well. Personally I don't have a strong preference about this one.

The limit parameter wasn't specified in the test but in the default
value in the database, making the test hard to read.
Since now we've moved the other processes to separate tests, now we can
create four processes using `times` and keep the test simple.
In the scenario where we want to test scopes and use `match_array`, we
usually declare variables we never use, which raises a warning in the
Ruby interpreter (since the main cause for an unused variable is a
typo).
So I've decided to just split the tests into cases where every record is
returned and cases were no records are returned, just like we do in
other places.
There are several other options we've considered:
1. Don't declare unused variables, but declare the ones we use
2. Prefix unused variables with un underscore
3. Declare just one variable being an array containing all elements, and
access the elements using Array#[]
4. Don't declare any variables, and compare results against attributes
such as titles
None of these options was met with enthusiasm.
Note there is some funkiness going on with class loadings
Had to create a `feed` and `widget_feed` table even though in this
first version the Widget::Feed includes only uses ActiveModel instead
of ActiveRecord, otherwise some specs failed
We’ll figure it out and clean up 😌
