There's an official checklist for decommissioning an extension at: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/edit/form/33/. Might want to compare your list to that one to make sure nothing was forgotten.

  • labs/countervandalism (remove the config var from InitialiseSettings.php.txt in the megatable dir)

FWIW I'm not necessarily sure we need to do anything about this. It seems like it might just have been a copy that was made of production config settings at some point. (I could be wrong though)

FYI, I copied that checklist into the parent task - I'm guessing that the Reader Growth Team has split it into subtasks that work better for them :)

@thcipriani Do you think you could help us with the last part? We don't have perms. Bugging you again since you helped us merge the other related patches for this ticket :)

Mark the gerrit repo as archived and set to read-only
Remove all access lists and reparent on All-Archived-Projects
Deactivate Diffusion repo for the extension*
Delete the GitHub mirror*
