thanks for this e-mail. Maybe I'm the only one, but the e-mail title is, in my opinion, a bit misleading :P As I read the title first, I thought, that the mediawiki/core maintenance scripts (which are in the maintenance/ directory in MediaWiki) itself were moved, but after reading the e-mail text I now know, that you mean the wmf setup of some mediawiki maintenance scripts. Maybe you can put "puppet" or something else into the title of the e-mail next time, to make the scope of the e-mail clear? :P
You were not the only person who got confused by the subject line. :-)
Regarding the MediaWiki core maintenance directory generally, there's https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T99268 tracking work to improve it.
