MESH-Research/commons#122 identified a number of plugins for removal. Remove these plugins from DEV. Ensure that no functionality is lost, or compensate for any that is. Then remove from production.
Avatar Privacy Zero users and appears to be unused. Tested up to 5.7.4. (We’re on WP 5.8.1) https://code.mundschenk.at/avatar-privacy/ & https://wordpress.org/plugins/avatar-privacy/
bbPress export and import Zero users. Site/plugin no longer exists. http://pippinsplugins.com/bbpress-stats
Better WordPress Google XML Sitemaps Zero users. Deprecated -- last updated 6 years ago. http://betterwp.net/wordpress-plugins/google-xml-sitemaps/
Disable "BIG Image" Threshold Zero users. Last tested with 5.7.4. https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-big-image-threshold/
Disable Password Reset Extended Last updated 2011. Doesn’t seem necessary since we redirect wp-login anyways. https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-password-reset-extended/
ElasticPress REST Unused. Superfluous with ElasticPress?
EWWW Image Optimizer Zero users. Appears to be unnecessary. https://wordpress.org/plugins/ewww-image-optimizer/
BP External Group Blogs Zero users. Deprecated. Last updated 8 years ago. https://wordpress.org/plugins/external-group-blogs/
Force Regenerate Thumbnails Very narrow use case. Site no longer exists.

Mashshare Share Buttons Non-free. Active on society sites, but doesn’t seem to be being used. https://mashshare.net/
Network Plugin Auditor Hasn’t been updated in 5 years. Not used. http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/network-plugin-auditor
Newsletters Only on https://news.hcommons.org/, which isn’t being used. http://tribulant.com/plugins/view/1/wordpress-newsletter-plugin
Public Post Preview Used on only one site (http://dlsanthology.mla.hcommons.org/). Redundant with Share a Draft, which is used on many more sites. (Although this plugin has more installs on WP.org than Share a Draft and was updated less recently, so maybe we should get rid of Share a Draft instead?) https://wordpress.org/plugins/public-post-preview/

Remove Dashboard Access Not in use. Narrow use case. https://wordpress.org/plugins/remove-dashboard-access-for-non-admins/
