Description
So we can disable them (filing bugs blocking https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1476564).
To implement this, if a good API doesn't exist, we could parse https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/describekeywords.cgi. For keywords that have 0 bugs, we can definitely consider them as unused. For keywords that have some bugs, we can make a further query to check if it has ever been used in the past year.

Research direction
Start by reviewing Bugzilla's describekeywords.cgi endpoint and the linked bug to determine whether an API can provide keyword usage. If not, evaluate parsing the keyword page and querying keywords with existing bugs for activity in the past year. Done means the tool identifies keywords with no bugs and keywords unused during that period.
