I will do.

We have a new wiki at
https://parisc.wiki.kernel.org/
which I thought to be used as replacement for the website.
I've already started to migrate some pages over.
Anyone is welcome to help with this wiki.

Our regular Wiki (http://wiki.parisc-linux.org/) is hosted at servers from ESIEE and are not affected (AFAICS).
Nevertheless, maybe it would make sense to merge those over to the wiki at kernel.org too?

If the archive at debian-ports works out, why do you want an additional debootstrap location?
