Kemp, Anybody is free to set up a web mirror of the libtiff web pages. You have been a member of the tiff community for a long time so I am sure that you are trustworthy. It is pretty easy to set up a mirror since the formatted libtiff web pages are available at Gitlab and in the libtiff release tarballs. I can not currently access my servers due to the network issues, but I recall that I have a nightly cron job set up which transfers any updates to the formatted documentation. When I am home, I can find the cron script and share it with you.
However, it would be a *major* win if someone could acquire the domain for the hijacked libtiff DOT org site (which is still the #1 first hit for any search for libtiff) and donate it to (or operate it for) the project. The continued existence of this old web site for libtiff 3.6.1 is very disruptive. The site is registered at GoDaddy. There is likely a way to put in an offer to purchase the domain.
