Hello, this is a provocative approach to migration!  

* Clarification Q:  The timeline was finalized on November 28, and any tools 
and cronjobs w/ no response from maintainers will stop working on the same day 
on December 14th, regardless of how actively they are used?  Is there anything 
that users of those tools can do to delay this?  It might be worth posting in 
places where active /users/ of tools hang out, not just the maintainers, as 
they will be inconvenienced and may be able to share maintainership where 
needed.

* Can you share stats on how many tools remain to be migrated, how many will 
stop in December, and which are the most-used?  This phab board has ~460 open 
tasks https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/board/6135/query/open/ ,
some created this week by the maintainers after receiving a recent ping  
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T352564 , while 
https://grid-deprecation.toolforge.org/ lists only 447 tools still running on 
GE -- scores of which seem quite popular.

* When "grid infrastructure is deleted" on March 14, will there be backups of 
the tools for people who want to migrate them in the future?

* At least Maarten and Albin asked to be unassigned from migration tasks for 
their tools (but remain assigned).  If they can't unassign themselves, and 
users need to coordinate finding migrators for their tools to keep working: is 
there some other way to flag in Phab which tools need someone to work on 
migration? Ideally a way visible from taskboard overviews... 

Cordially, Sam
