Mediawiki support has been dropped in Debian stable (jessie). What's the alternative?

Yesterday, [Debian removed Mediawiki from its stable distribution](https://www.debian.org/News/2016/20160604) : Removed packages ---------------- The following packages were removed due to circumstances beyond our control: +-------------------------------+--------------------------------------+ | Package | Reason | +-------------------------------+--------------------------------------+ | lyz | Depends on to-be-removed zotero- | | | standalone-build | | | | | mediawiki | No longer security supported | | | | | mediawiki-math | Depends on to-be-removed mediawiki | | | | | zotero-standalone-build | Unusable in jessie | | | | +-------------------------------+--------------------------------------+ As I read it, this means *"If you are running Debian stable, as of _now_, you will know longer receive security updates for mediawiki. So drop what you are doing, look for an alternative, and do it quickly, or you'll get pwned."*¹ As we all know, running a commonly-used web application without security updates is like leaving your front door unlocked and going on vacation. So, are there any alternatives if you want to run mediawiki *securely* on your Debian server? I looked for alternative repositories but, unfortunately, [jessie-backports does not contain mediawiki either](https://packages.debian.org/search?suite=jessie-backports&keywords=mediawiki) . The only alternative I can think of is to go back to the dark ages of system administration (before stable/LTS Linux distributions were invented), subscribe to the mediawiki-announce mailing list and install *every. single. security update.* manually. As you can imagine, I'd like to avoid that. So, is there any alternative for us poor Debian stable users? Some MediaWiki fork which is still supported? Some reliable third-party repository? --- ¹ Please correct me if my interpretation is wrong. I'm surprised that they'd do something like that in the stable branch without at least *some* warning in advance, so that people can look for alternatives, but I understand that there might be circumstances beyond their control which lead to such situations.
