For who has interest. I prepared a backup-download for the LSR. You can find all here: (it seems to be still online (the last download is from this morning) https://github.com/eefweenink/LSRDump
Just zip and download. PS: And hope somebody is able to turn this into a nice new knowledge thing (Maybe using AI to build something).

(I happened to be browsing the lilypond-devel archives for unrelated reasons.) I just wanted to mention that there's a lot of wiki software out there and in particular there is already a MediaWiki extension (used on Wikipedia) for adding LilyPond scores. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Score So that might be an option to get account management, search, edit history, talk pages, categorization, etc, without coding all of that yourself. But I have zero experience as to whether this stuff is easy to install and maintain. [Please keep me CCed in replies as I'm not subscribed to this list anymore.] Best, Jean
