I looked at Savannah a while ago (year or two) and they impose
some procedural requirements that seemed burdensome.

Agreed, but it's a low-priority item to me.

I have a snapshot of the wiki pages dated July 2007.
That's pretty close to up to date; I think there were only a few
changes since then.
I haven't tried recovering the db.

I guess I;m not opposed to that. If someone wants to register a
domain and point it to maxima.sf.net then we can move stuff
at our leisure. That said, I don't want to be the person responsible
for the domain name. Also, for what it's worth, I think we should
avoid the abbreviation "CAS" in the domain name (a proposal
made in another message); maybe maxima-project.whatever
is suitable. Just a thought.
All the best
