English Wikivoyage has a bunch of log entries of its usage, the
last in 2015. Other Wikimedia sites have very few entries, or none
at all.
My guess, and please do correct me if I'm wrong, is that it was
used on Wikitravel or Wikivoyage, and that it is still installed
for backwards compatibility so as not to break the logs or the
global user accounts data, but it is not completely compatible with
other Wikimedia sites, so it can't be used either.
It was used right after Wikivoyage joined Wikimedia to reconcile their
accounts with SUL. It was mostly luck that nothing bad happened, as
well as the fact Wikivoyage was pretty small (relatively speaking) so
it didn't run into the performance problems that exist. There was an
attempt during/after SUL finalization to create a global user merge
tool, but it never worked out in reality.
If my assessment is correct, then it should be marked
as "Legacy"
on translatewiki. This doesn't mean it will be removed; it will
remain available for translation. It just means that translators
who want to focus on completing the translation of extensions that
are used on Wikimedia sites will know that it's not used much, and
it's not a high priority to translate it, and will translate
something more important first.
This seems appropriate, though as Marco mentioned, we should probably
just undeploy it from Wikimedia now (figuring out something about log
entries).
