Sunsetting backports.wiki.kernel.org

Hello, all:

We are getting rid of all mediawikis and replacing them either with archived
sites, or RTD-style documentation. The backports wiki was mostly outdated
information, but it appeared to be still maintained to some degree, so we're
converting it to a RTD-style site.

# Initial conversion

I've done the initial conversion and the preliminary results can be viewed
here:

https://www.kernel.org/doc/projects/backports/

The underlying git repository is here:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/docs/docsko/backports.git/

It actually contains most of the wiki history as well.

# What happens next?

There are two ways forward:

1. You can clone that git repository and host it on github. This would allow
   for a quick readthedocs.org integration and allow you to edit the files
   directly via the github interface. This is a very wiki-like workflow and
   would allow you to grant access to the repository to anyone with a github
   account, plus accept pull requests with modifications. Once you have
   readthedocs.org integration working, we can configure it to be under the
   docs.kernel.org domain, which will allow you to remove the ads from the
   site.

2. Continue to host it in the current location and accept edits via patches
   sent to this mailing list.

Please let me know how you would like to proceed. If I don't hear back from
anyone in the next few days, I will configure the backports.docs.kernel.org
with the current converted contents and redirect backports.wiki.kernel.org
there.

Best regards,
-K
