Depending on the level of customization your really looking for, you could always make a request to kernel.org to host the wiki ( already hosting ext4.wiki.kernel.org, btrfs.wiki.kernel.org, moin.wiki.kernel.org, etc)
It's running a shared hosted version of mediawiki, however I know for a fact the admin doesn't want to do *too* much customization of the underlying wiki and doesn't have a lot of time to devote to it, he's good at keeping it running but the content / customization would need to be handled by a more dedicated person.
