I am interested.

Any version of moinmoin can export version list by "info" and obtain the old version in 3 ways: raw, print, recall. URL == http://wiki.debian.org/OsamuAoki -> Normal display URL?action=format&mimetype=xml/docbook -> XML output (on new server, not on http://wiki.debian.org/OsamuAoki) URL?action=info -> list of past versions URL?action=recall&rev=35 -> recall 35th version URL?action=raw&rev=21 -> raw input data of rev21 URL?action=print&rev=20 -> print output of rev20 So these access method may be used to get old version data into your git repository. Maybe, using internal code, it may be trivial to convert raw text to make XML or HTML for wiki.debian.org data. Updating web content utomatically may be possible by fiddling with URL?action=edit page. Please note the text data in edit are escaped as you know. If you are successful, let me know.
