Details

(Whiteboard: [dev-papercut] [tech-debt]) 

These apps seem to overlap and offer redundancies, in terms of common utilities and middleware and suchlike:

* sumo
* devmo
* funfactory (in vendor)

We should take a look at maybe just using funfactory (for the reusability magic), and switch the corresponding utilities from the other apps over.

And, at a quick glance, these apps in the Kuma code base look like vestigal and unused organs from Kitsune:

* chat
* customercare
* forums
* gallery
* inproduct
* kadmin
* kbforums
* questions
* twitter
* upload

We should take a look at each of these, and purge the ones that are truly unused. If we want the corresponding functionality at some point in the future, we'll need to consider re-importing the associated app from the Kitsune code base because our existing versions are ancient.
