Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Problem/Motivation
The "Admin UI and JavaScript Modernisation" initiative worked on a lot of areas to explore how to make Drupal's admin UI more modern and achieved a lot in terms of modernising the JS code. Some of the work lives on in the "Decoupled menus" initiative (https://www.drupal.org/about/strategic-initiatives/decoupled-menus) and the Claro admin theme related work lives on in the upcoming "Easy out of the box" initiative, see #3191533: Define "Easy out of the box" Drupal core initiative.
Proposed resolution
Retire the Admin UI and JavaScript Modernisation.
Remaining tasks
Figure out who should be credited as part of retiring the initiative.

Per @justafish the Admin UI contributor list is at https://github.com/jsdrupal/drupal-admin-ui/graphs/contributors. These are github usernames, so need to be mapped to d.o usernames:

xjmI almost NWed for this, but the same issue exists elsewhere in the file as well and it's out of scope: #3195277: Drupal 9 MAINTAINERS.txt talks about Drupal 8
Aside from that -- have all the contributors been added now?
Comment #148
xjmAlso, the title says something about Easy OOTB, but the patch does not add it and it's not there already? Are we OK with that?
Comment #149
gábor hojtsy@xjm: the one subsystem / component that the Admin UI initiative added to core was Claro. That already has maintainers that we added two weeks ago at #3192763: Add subsystem maintainers for Claro. The parts of the initiative that work outside of Claro do not operate anymore, hence this issue.
Comment #150
gábor hojtsyUpdating title and issue summary following discussion by @xjm to point people interested in the respective initiatives to locations to learn more and get involved.
Comment #153
xjmCommitted to 9.2.x. Thanks and congratulations to all the initiative contributors!
This initially did not cherry-pick cleanly. I realized #3170260: Decoupled Menus Initiative was not backported to 9.1.x, so I cherry-picked that first and then this.
