The web stuff is hosted at sourceforge and anyone with commit access
there is able to update it/maintain it.  The code transitioned to
github, but the website stayed behind.

Mailing lists (and amanda.org itself) is me.  I'm a cs/umd-alumni who
used to be part of the amanda core team when there was such a thing
and also did some development for a period, before zmanda.  (I'm also
someone who still runs amanda...).  I have no affiliation with zmanda or
carbonite or betsol.

There was a time when there was a core team who dealt with the overall
care and feeding of the project, but that kind of went by the wayside
when Zmanda stepped in and built a commercial project around it.  I have
resisted folding the amanda.org stuff into the commercial projects (both
at zmanda and since), believing that the community is really the team
that should call the shots, which has essentailly meant amanda-hackers,
historically.  Ultimately, it is a matter of who is willing to give time
to the project, which it sounds like betsol is, which is great news.
