It's a new month. We need to download statements. The new month is October. We need to rotate keys.

[chadwhitacre]

Statements in https://github.com/gratipay/logs/commit/50eae8cdabe5b63d612fc13b5f8574e0ecea2d67 and https://github.com/gratipay/logs/commit/bd4fbb1a30ac0e8f471a48fa6652044869ee00b1 (we were behind a month).
