Yeah, my assumption is that it's totally out of date these days. I admit
that's subjective and maybe there are people maintaining/using it. I
kind of suspect not, though (and if they don't reply to this thread,
perhaps we can assume they don't exist, or at least not connected enough
to the development community to matter).
My knowledge of MediaWiki is not good enough to give a definitive answer,
but it seems that active editing stopped at the end of 2021.
One of most actively edited articles seems to be "GitHosting":
https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php?title=GitHosting&action=history
It seems that it is mostly edited by editors who are promoting Git hosting
they are affiliated with. Article "Interfaces, frontends, and tools" also
got a lot of edits in 2020 and some in 2021:
https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php?title=Interfaces,_frontends,_and_tools&action=history
Diff of the latest edit on the article "Git" is a bit telling:
https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php?title=Git&diff=31274&oldid=8420
Website https://git-scm.com existed in some form since at least 2008,
current website's initial commit dates to 2012-03-06, but the article
"Git" on the wiki didn't have a link to it until 2019. The article also
hasn't been edited at all between 2010 and 2019.
