Cool project! It might be worth spending some of the project’s effort simply on fighting linkrot and getting some good defunct blogs back online, regardless of whether the author is willing to continue writing the blog. To give one example, Eric Drexler’s metamodern.com has been offline for years, and while Pablo Stafforini has preserved some posts, many of them are only accessible through the Web Archive as far as I know.

Thanks for the nudge, will keep this in mind!
As another example, I very much appreciate whoever runs cach3 for mirroring the FTX Future Fund website for posterity https://ftxfuturefund.org.cach3.com/index.html
