I dug around and it seems that those dumps were not uploaded by WMF staff, but by a volunteer with the handle 'hydriz'.
Here is their phabricator profile: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/p/Hydriz/
Unfortunately, it seems like they have not been active recently.
If you are interested, feel free to contact them https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Hydriz, perhaps they just need a bit of help to get those contributions back on track.

No, I am referring to these https://archive.org/search?query=incremental+dumps, which are all uploaded by WMF staff and abruptly stop in November 2022.

If you share a bit about your use case, we can help point you in the right direction. Let us know.

I’m working on gaining access to the dumps uploading project on Cloud Services so that I can restore operation. On Jul 22, 2025 at 5:47 PM -0700, Xabriel Collazo Mojica xcollazo@wikimedia.org, wrote:
