Fabrice, on 02/08 you announced your intention to discontinue the extension on
February 28th (comment 16, above). Four months later, the extension was still
enabled, and had a critical bug (bug 49967), which I fixed. Commenting on that
bug, you wrote:

Prompted by your comment, I file bug 49976, "Remove ArticleFeedback extension
from Wikimedia wikis". I quote you in the bug report and add you as a CC. I
conclude the report by asking for help in reaching out and providing notice.

As far as I am aware, you did not follow-up anywhere to announce that the
switch-off had been postponed, or to explain the rationale.

This makes very little sense. The discontinuation of AFTv4 was announced in
February, but the evaluation phase for AFTv5 on the French and German
Wikipedias did not start until April.
