Search for attachments and external links to images on the website. As 
far as I know, Moinmoin doesn't have convenient special pages that can 
help with that. Luckily, (text) searching for "attachment" does find 
pages with links to attachments (plus lots of false positives). You can 
look for relevant external links with search terms like "regex:http.*(png)".

List the artwork you found on a wiki page to keep track of copyright 
holders and relicensing status. That way, other people can join in (or 
take over if needed).

Thanks for picking this up.

Yes, it makes sense and I see no reason to question their judgement.
