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. -Todd
