I think I took care of all the Phab repos.

Btw, if you had a script to generate that info, that'd be awesome!

Looks good, thanks for the work. I have [x] all in the list

GitHub mirrors done already? If not, we need an admin there to take care of them.

No, not all. The extensions/skins without strike github link needs to be done. The rest is done.

Yah, that would be nice. But I have no one.

I have used

I have looked if all with State=Read Only has an [ARCHIVED] or similar hint in the description.
After that I have looked if all with the hint are read only.
Than I have copy over the list (in pieces of 50) into calc/excel and extracted all repositories with [ARCHIVED] hint (or similar).

Next step was copy over from https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/r/ to get all the callsign (but not all seems listed there).

Than combined it to the list above and clicked all the links to check if phab and github are already done and have set the [x].

Takes some hours, but now it would be a better state for all the archived extensions.

Hopefully in the future all archivements are done per task, than these steps are all done short to the read only setting and there is no backlog.

This is something I had in mind to do. But stumbled on T180297 so I postponed it. I'm glad @Umherirrender did this and can't thank him enough. I hope we can find ways to ease the archival process a bit, because we have to look at three places (Gerrit, Phabricator and GitHub) and on Gerrit, we have to make changes to several repos. Maybe a bot could query regularly the repos marked as Read Only in Gerrit and set them to inactive status here at Phabricator Diffusion (or report them somewhere in Wikitech so we can review them?). Regards.

PS: I archived a lot of translations of archived extensions on mw.org last night.

Adding @hashar to do the pending GitHub mirror deletions.

I have deleted most of them. Some repositories are read-only / archived but still have php / content file, so potentially one might still be able to clone them from Gerrit and expect the code to work.

I don't think it is worth our time to enable write in Gerrit, send a commit to clean them up, mark them read-only in Gerrit. We should probably just delete them.

The list:

Let me know what you think, I am in favor of just deleting the github mirrors :]

This extension is actively developed and WMF-deployed. I think you confused it with "WikimediaPageViewInfo" :-)
Could you restore this one?

https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-PageViewInfo is there again. Replication will take care of populating the content there shortly.

$ ssh -p 29418 gerrit.wikimedia.org replication start mediawiki/extensions/PageViewInfo --wait
