I think this comes into the case of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".
Funnily enough, it (the mailing list thingy) *is* slightly broke at the
moment, I think - I don't get my own emails to the mailing list :) But I
am no sufficiently concerned to find out where to raise that bug.

what list??? We used to be on sourceforge (actually we still are, but
the page just re-directs to Savannah).

I guess the reason Nils rolled his own website was that the facilities
offered by Savannah are too old-fashioned looking? Well, I am the last
person that can offer an opinion on all this stuff, but at least the
current website technology seems to avoid spamming which the old one
didn't.
   
But if Nils is not around to get you started, Jeremiah, then something
more basic would be better than something that promised interactivity
which it then didn't deliver.
