There is a task about moving Geohack to production (https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T102960; "Move geohack to production"). However in the WMF cluster there is also al- ready Extension:MapSources (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:MapSources) deployed on the Wikivoyage sites, so (IMHO) it is more use- ful to expand on that foundation. The problems Geohack faced in the past (AFAICT) can be mostly attributed to failures in the Labs infrastructure, so moving the functionality to an ("internal") extension would improve the availability (or to put in another way: If Geo- hack/Extension:MapSources would /then/ fail, Wikipedia would be down as well :-)).
