[tor-project] TPA-RFC-72: donate site maintenance on Wednesday 2024-10-02

Summary: donation site will be down for maintenance on Wednesday
around 14:00 UTC, equivalent to 07:00 US/Pacific, 11:00
America/Sao_Paulo, 10:00 US/Eastern, 16:00 Europe/Amsterdam.

# Background

We're having [latency issues] with the main donate site. We hope
that migrating it from our data center in Germany to the one in Dallas
will help fix those issues as it will be physically closer to the rest
of the cluster.

[latency issues]: donate-neo is having frequent high latency incidents (#134) · Issues · The Tor Project / Web / donate-neo · GitLab

# Proposal

Move the `donate-01.torproject.org` virtual machine, responsible for
the production <https://donate.torproject.org/&gt; site, between the two
main Ganeti clusters, following the procedure detailed in [#41775].

[#41775]: TPA-RFC-72: move donate-01 VM to gnt-dal cluster (#41775) · Issues · The Tor Project / TPA / TPA team · GitLab

Outage is expected to take no more than two hours, but no less than 15
minutes.
