Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.We're already going to kill convert-makefile entirely as a tool over at #1474796: Kill convert-makefile code so we're also going to want to remove the web UI for that.
However, the web UI for verify is also of dubious value. The premise was distro maintainers might be "afraid" of drush. But that's insane. Any distro maintainer has to be comfortable using drush make and friends or they're totally doomed. This is just extra bloat to maintain, more clutter on project nodes, etc.
That said, project_verify_package.module will still have a reason to exist. We still want it to do a verify-makefile when people try to submit release nodes. So this isn't as simple as disabling/uninstalling the module and then git rm'ing all the files. ;) But, hopefully we can kill a *lot* of code.

dwwTotally untested, but basically this. ;)
Comment #2
dwwTested on http://distro-drupal.redesign.devdrupal.org and working fine. The web UI is gone but the validation on release nodes is still working.
Any final objections?
Thanks,
