Only secret thing in the home directory seems to be /data/project/geograph2commons/oauth.ini, which has the credentials for the 8a7b08aaf6cad6b0925d471051d62994 OAuth consumer. The code is also licensed properly.

I somehow feel nervous about forcing a new co-maintainer on @Magnus even if he is non-responsive to the specific pings that were sent about this adoption request. The source code at https://bitbucket.org/magnusmanske/geograph2commons/src/master/ and the live tool's $HOME/public_html also show this tool entangled with code outside of the tool via symlinks and other imports (/data/project/magnustools/public_html/resources, /data/project/magnustools/public_html/php/Widar.php). I'm not at all confident that anyone other than @Magnus can resurrect this tool readily.

@bjh21 I would recommend that you abandon this adoption request and instead create a new tool. You can read and/or copy code from https://bitbucket.org/magnusmanske/geograph2commons/src/master/ and https://bitbucket.org/magnusmanske/magnustools/src/master/ to bootstrap your fork.

My intention in adopting this tool was not primarily to resurrect it, but simply to stop people trying to use it. At the moment, the user experience is fairly terrible: you authorise the tool through OAuth, provide an image ID, a new filename, and a list of carefully chosen categories, click "Run", and get a message saying "Uploading...". But no matter how long you wait, nothing actually gets uploaded. My initial plan was to improve this by simply putting a notice on the front page stating that the tool no longer works and pointing to functional alternatives. I don't currently think it's worth making an entirely new tool: improvements on the Geograph end mean that Geograph can fill in Special:Upload automatically, so geograph2commons, even if it worked, would not offer much benefit over that.

I made this request in response to a thread last year on Commons:Help desk where someone had tried to use geograph2commons and only afterwards discovered that it didn't work. I don't know how many other people have tried and failed and not come to the Help desk.

I suppose that would have been useful information to have 11 months ago, but since I have it now:
