Ultimately I have been thinking about it on a sitewide basis. The last I heard, our offsite backups are in New York, and our main servers are in Salt Lake. Miraheze code is hosted by GitHub, a subsidiary of US-based Microsoft, and Mediawiki is developed by a SF-based but fairly internationally-staffed nonprofit. Plenty of geographical redundancy, but almost no geopolitical redundancy.
Fundamentally the problem has been a lack of non-US-based volunteers willing to serve on a board of directors. Right now, it would be simple legal process to transfer the Miraheze IP to a nonprofit outside the US and have the current org continue to operate it. But we need people willing to do that.
