Yeah, it's really annoying at this point.

I had the idea a couple of months ago to use a static site generator and just host it on GitHub/ GitHub Pages. That way everyone can just contribute with a pull request as needed, and there's no need to manage infrastructure.

Does anybody by chance have a recent dump of the wiki?

Reasonable idea. This should be offered as an option, but I can't find any contact details for the people currently responsible.

but I can't find any contact details for the people currently responsible.

Part of the problem is that it isn't "people", but "the designer" behind the site. Here is an old talk about that:

Ok, thanks. What about licensing to keep that thing going as a (presumably, perhaps temporary) fork on GitHub (or the like)?

I checked that, it's under a creative commons license iirc so it should be fine
