Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

CiviCRM 4.6 has standard fields for transaction ID and a standard table for payment processor. We're storing gateway_trxn_id and gateway as text in wmf_transaction_extra. Investigate whether other custom data can be migrated to standard fields, and what work will be needed.

@Ejegg @awight what's the motivation for doing this? Just to simplify upgrades, etc. later?

It's pretty much the same motivation as upstreaming code changes, but in this case we're removing custom complexity in favor of core support.
