Yes.

Use Drupal features to get the structured data (which is very un-wiki)
and the structured data (e.g. platform, version, programming language,
license, and so on) can be output with Drupal to a customized form
which would look like your basic wiki template you are referring to.

To solve the orphaned projects, you can have user-submitted projects
and author-submitted projects.  Anyone can make changes to the former,
but only the owner and their designates can make changes to the
latter.  But there would be a link to "update this page", that anyone
can use to submit changes which would go to an editor to approve.  The
editor could at his option convert the project to the other type so
that the users are back in control.  We could also have some flag if a
project hasn't been modified in 3 months (or whatever) that draws
attention to it so that users are encouraged to update it.

It's very doable with the right PHP hackers in place.  I'm just a
modest sysadmin who can speak XHTML and a little PHP, who else here
can really chip in some of the back end stuff?  Do we have one of the
Drupal contributors on this list?
