    import_extra_data() has special handling for converting string representations
    of Boolean and integer values in extra_data to their respective data types,
    but lacks handling for floating point values. This trickles up so that JSON
    responses to API queries show floating point values as strings rather than
    numeric values. This issue is fixed by adding special handling for floating
    point data types.

    JSON snippets of a response to a review request draft update are attached to
    illustrate the before and after behavior. Notice the floating point fields
    are quoted (e.g. represented as strings) in the before case.

    • Added a new unit test which failed prior to this fix.
    • Ran unit tests.

      Can we re-format this as:

      try:
          value = int(value)
      except ValueError:
          try:
              value = float(value)
          except ValueError:
              pass
      

      IMO, this is easier to read.
