This is about the Wikimedia grants review application. served at https://iegreview.wikimedia.org/

This task is to figure out if we can get an OK from stakeholders to sunset this service.

There has previously been a Code Stewardship Review task created in 2019 without an outcome --> T222665.
The last comment on that task from May 2022 is that this is not prioritized and there is no clear way forward.

The serviceops-collab team would like to sunset this service this it significantly complicates server failovers and migrations.

Most recently in SRE sprint week it blocked us from a much quicker migration to bullseye and just before it also blocked us from completely switching over during the DC-switchover from eqiad to codfw.
The reason is that it has a DB backend and it is also the only remaining PHP application among a dozen static sites sharing the same machine.

It would make our life easier to be able to remove this, it would be good for security to remove this.

But it's also sad that the code stewardship request had no outcome and it might mean we end up using closed source 3rd party again instead of hosting our own free software on our own architecture.

First step seems to be to determine if it is actively used right now or not, despite the other questions.

If the outcome was that someone takes over code stewardship we could talk about moving it to a dedicated VM which would also fix some of the concerns.
