RSS bot pulls the oldest entries and ignores the newer/latest entries on the feed.

[laurynmm]

As reported on CZO, depending on how the RSS feed has sorted its entries (newest first or oldest first), the RSS bot integration may only pull the oldest entries and ignore newer/latest entries in the feed.

Fixing the implementation will probably involve two loops for processing feed entries:

• first, one looking for items we've not processed
• then, a second block going through those to decide what to do with them
