Comment (by costdev):

 > After reviewing some data, including the support threads and plugin
 directory install metrics, I recommend that we retire the LiveJournal
 plugin from being recommended on the Importer screen.

 What did the plugin directory install metrics show?

 From what I can see, there is:
   - A deprecation notice for `screen_icon()`/`get_screen_icon()`.
     - Can probably just be removed.
   - A deprecation notice for `wpdb::escape()`.
     - e.g. `esc_sql()`.
   - Undefined array offset for `0 == $matches[1]`.
     - e.g. `if ( empty( $matches ) || '0' === $matches[1] )` (still needs
 to run if empty).

 Were there any (other) significant and verified bugs that you came across?

 We could certainly fix the above in an update, but there's a bigger
 question of maintenance - and this component doesn't have any maintainers.
 This might be raised in the next devchat to see if anyone wants to take on
 maintenance of this plugin.

 While I'm personally not up for maintaining the plugin, I'd be happy to
 resolve the three issues above and bring the plugin up to Core coding
 standards, if there was a desire to keep the plugin available and someone
 else willing to maintain it in the long term. Otherwise, I'd support
 retiring the plugin.
