What's the path forward for anyone running a MoinMoin wiki (which
needs Python 2.x) on Debian? This includes both the Debian project

In the case of the Debian Wiki, we are migrating it to Mediawiki[1].
If you consider a migration, you may find Paul Boddie's "MoinLight"[2,3]
useful; it has a very good Moin markup parser.
The last time I looked at this issue, and tried to evaluate wiki
engines to which the content could be ported, none of them came even
*close* to MoinMoin's feature set, except of course MediaWiki, which
has its own separate issues (needs PHP, needs a MySQL or equivalent
database).
MediaWiki can use SQLite which simplifies the picture slightly.
