[Policy] Deprecate History module in D10 and move to contrib in D11

@andypost is the maintainer for History, so he should be given an opportunity to provide feedback before this is committed.

The committer team recently reviewed our scoring exercise on all core modules. There is a reasonably strong consensus that History is neither a foundational capability nor strategically valuable to the product roadmap, so it should be moved to contrib. I am marking RTBC, but leaving the tags on to give maintainers a chance to confirm that they agree.

Actually marking RTBC, and fixing parent.

Sounds like this one could actually use further discussion. Points raised were:

1. It's more useful than the other modules on the list for D11 removal.
2. It's entangled with Comment architecturally.
3. It is "used" (or at least installed) on 75% of sites currently (due to being in Standard). Whether or not they actually rely on the functionality is harder to say.

From a framework manager point of view, I'm happy for it to be moved to contrib. It isn't a feature needed unless you're building a community site. Not removing the tag as giving others a chance to chime in.

As maintainer I'm ++ for move to contrib as the module "wired" into comment/tracker/forum at least and it's hard to make it work with other entities.

Contrib has less requirements and could iterate faster in 2.x branch

Speaking as the person who filed 📌 [Policy] Move book to contrib in Drupal 11 Fixed , I have no objections here!

Removing versions from the title. They can be added back if this is approved.

This doesn't have signoffs yet, so removing it as a child of the core issue.

Discussed at DrupalCon Barcelona, and there is consensus to remove it from core. This functionality is not necessary in core but does have a valid use case so it's a good fit for core.

This was discussed at a meeting of the Core Leadership team at DrupalCon Barcelona 2024. Those present agreed to the removing the contact module from core and moving it to contrib. The product managers were not able to attend so tagging for their review.

There are 3 subsystem maintainers for Contact, larowlan, andypost and jibran. Of those, only jibran has not commented here, so leaving the tag.

Curious why the title said about history module but you're about contact?!

Contact is 🌱 [Policy] Move Contact module to contrib Active

As the history module maintainer I'm ++ to move to contrib so it needs follow-ups to deprecate and unblock namespace in contrib

I'm sure just a mix up, @quietone was updating a lot of issues!

Yes, a silly mistake.

I will make the core issues when this is marked Fixed.

I'm also +1 with moving it to contirb.
