I am not aware of any parser project that aims at replacing the standard
MoinMoin parser. There are some old ones like "gaga", but that one is
stopped currently AFAIK (just search for the name on the moinmoin wiki).

What kind of? We hope that the current code does not have many. I can just
think of the weird delegation of "attachment:"-links-rendering
responsibility.
