[Board] info at osgeo.org how is it managed

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi María,

In fact I used to tackle those info@ emails as they came in, for years 
(decade?), people like Jachym can verify that.  Since that, I can bet 
that there is no one tackling regularly.  Marc is 100% correct in his 
assessment and advice.  This is very important for OSGeo, having someone 
dedicated to this.  Or actually remove it from all pages (I've tried to 
explain this situation here in years past).
