**To be clear:** this is not about //archiving// the extension, at least not at this time. As has been noted previously, even with a lack of maintenance, the extension should still work as a basic, drop-in, anti-spam solution for various MediaWiki operators. I also personally believe that StopForumSpam data //could// be incorporated as an //additional data set// for the #ipoid-opensearch service, if the WMF ever decides to explore that option in depth.
**Undeployment checklist** (per T294329#8085948):
[] Remove any relevant beta cluster configuration (`InitialiseSettings-labs.php`, `CommonSettings-labs.php`)
[] Remove any relevant production cluster configuration (`InitialiseSettings.php`, `CommonSettings.php`)
[x] Remove any database configuration (not applicable for this extension)
[] Disable or clear any file system customizations or cache data, if necessary, within Wikimedia production
[] Remove the extension from `extension-list` to stop rebuilding l10n on deployment
[] Stop branching the extension by removing it from `make-release.yaml`
