The bitcoin.it domain is owned by the forum, but it's always had a totally independent admin team. I've never been an admin there, nor appointed any admin. However, nowadays it seems mostly abandoned, with only 5 edits in the last 30 days (about half of which look like spam); I've been thinking for a few years that I should appoint some new admins or something, or maybe just shut it down and set up a redirect to bitcoinwiki.org.
I think it would be better to appoint new admins instead of redirecting it to bitcoinwiki.org as new admins team may make edits in the wiki as needed. The domain is owned by the forum and I think we should not just redirect it to bitcoinwiki.org and maybe we can find some good admins for that wiki via this forum who may add updates tp it on regular basis.
However, the final decision is always yours and if redirecting it is the only way then you may do that, but still I believe that there might be some good members of the forum who might want to contribute to that wiki and get appointed as admins at that wiki.
