wiki.dlang.org: How about replacing MediaWiki with a Git repo?

wiki.dlang.org is currently powered by MediaWiki.
How about replacing it with a Git repo, a static site generator 
and GitHub pages?

There are currently 569 pages in the wiki (plus a few 
talk/discussion ones).
Many of them have very little content. I estimate that I could 
transform them easily with a little machine assistance to a 
different format like Markdown.

dlang.org is maintained on GitHub, too.

Another thing to note is that malicious changes to the current 
Wiki go easily under the radar.
<https://wiki.dlang.org/Wiki/unlimited-DramaBox-Coins-FREE> 
should not be a thing. Even worse, it says, “This page was last 
edited on 12 September 2025, at 02:04.”
In other words: Spam goes unnoticed for over 10 months…

Looking forward to hearing your feedback! :)
