I guess if the platform doesn't exist we'll just get an exception printed? I
wonder if instead we should print a list of the available platforms - that might
be useful if the user typed "firefox" instead of "gecko" or something like that.

That's what argparse does for you, e.g.:

$ npm run publish -- firefox
usage: publish.js [-h] {gecko} ...
publish.js: error: argument "platform_name": Invalid choice: firefox (choose
from [gecko])

Cool!
