Yes. Every developer with write access can do that:

http://grass.itc.it/grasscvs.html
                    GRASS site web pages management (developers only) 
                    Developers have access to maintain the GRASS web pages: 

                          Set the CVSROOT variable (with your CVS ID)  
                          cvs -z3 co web  

                          The web site is updated by a cronjob in the early
                          Italian morning.

especially in case I am traveling around... I'll be offline till next week.
