node-report: sunsetting the module, archiving the repo

[gireeshpunathil]

diagnostic report is now stable in the master: nodejs/node#32242 , hopefully will make it into node.js v14 next month. The only known bug is being worked out too.

This issue is to identify and discuss any other pre-requisites or conditions that need to be met for this repo to be archived and the npm module to be sunset, derive at a consensus.

I don't believe diagnostic report has been or will be backported to Node.js 10 so we shouldn't archive this repository until Node.js 10 goes End-of-Life.

[richardlau]

Node.js 10 is now End-of-Life and all currently supported versions of Node.js (i.e. 12, 14 and 16) contain the built in diagnostics report feature. So I propose:

• Deprecating the package on the npm registry. I propose setting a deprecation message of

This module has been superseded by the diagnostics report feature of Node.js core. It is now unmaintained.

• Removing the nodereport-continuous-integration-latest and test-nodereport CI jobs.
• Open an issue in https://github.com/nodejs/admin requesting this repository be archived.

I'll wait until the end of this week in case there are any objections/comments on the deprecation wording.

Module is now deprecated in the registry:

$ npm install node-report
npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: This module has been superseded by the diagnostics report feature of Node.js core. It is now unmaintained.

Opened nodejs/admin#621 to request that this repository be archived.
