ah! that! no, site is operated by same people as five years ago (with  
brilliant exception of search), few people left during that time,  
because of various reasons.
some volunteers are not volunteers anymore though, being on foundation  
payroll.

unfortunately, being 'sysadmin' of such site is more about running  
around with debugger, profiler and compiler, rather than conventional  
systems administration, and it is somewhat difficult to get people to  
volunteer to do that (and certain things as full automatization of  
cluster management are quite big projects, that require years of  
experience and attention to detail).
