Extension:Petition is installed on foundation.wikimedia.org. We don't need it any longer: it was only ever used for a single petition about Wikipedia Zero and this program has been wound down. There's no plans to run any more petitions using this extension, and even if there were it wouldn't be on foundation.wikimedia.org since the site's purpose has changed.

I agree with this assessment. Thank you @Pcoombe! There may be other extensions enabled on foundation.wikimedia.org which are now no longer needed. I will make an effort to review them later, but invite others to do so as well. :)

The information in the database table petition_data should also be removed
That sounds like a dedicated task for DBA?

Another thing to consider - data stored by the petition - are we planning to keep that forever? Should it be deleted? It includes stuff that could be considered PII (Names, emails, country)
Edit: Sorry, didn't notice this was already discussed at T208979
