Sam, the maintainer is nominally Mikal Villas; he has not been very active as 
far as I know. All of the pim folk have commit privileges to update the site.

Ha, the annual call.

A lot depends actually on what it is you want to do. Since you started this 
thread with issues in layout and margins in the menu and it's wobbled 
off-course to the pim website, it strikes me that you might be more 
interested in other stuff. But as for websites, here's my take (as one-time 
maintainer of pim.kde.org and others):

- the framework most kde sites use is called Capacity, and it's one of those 
php things that basically has an include('header.inc') include('footer.inc') 
wrapped around all the content. unless you want to write yet another cms, 
there's not much to do there or challenge either.

- some sites are done in a CMS; games.k.o uses something new by Emil Sedgh -- 
he *did* want to write another cms :) -- and plasma.k.o uses Aaron's cms 
(which used to be a commercial product) and some others use Drupal.
