I've been fine with us hosting the Wiki for quite some time.
What I propose is that we start fresh with a Mediawiki install on WineHQ.org and manually migrate over to it. I know migration tools exist, but perhaps it would be better if we do it manually.
I can help. Just tell me what I need to do.
At first we could keep it locked down to only a few editors until the migration is done. After that, we can slowly open it up more.
Based on what I went through yesterday with our FrontPage spammer, we may want to always limit important pages (e.g., FrontPage, FAQ) to trusted editors.
Downloaded pages should also be protected. So far I haven't seen any spammer messing around with them, but damage could be very high if unsuspecting users execute malicious or wrong instructions.
I haven't seen any statement on wine-devel, so I assume nothing has been done so far. Is there noone else besides Dimi who could put the Wiki into read-only mode? An emergency solution could be to put the Wiki behind a proxy and block login from there. If noone else has a better idea or feels motivated to do this, I could set up such a proxy (its a matter of a few minutes), but it requires modifications to the winehq DNS settings in order to work, and I don't have access to that.
[A second version with write access can still be available using a "secret" URL. ;) ]
