And to save some of you a click, the updated link:

While I'm here, the first page I linked mentions the webmaster list. That
is another area where volunteers (who can start by just joining the list
and reading some of the archives) would be more than welcome. As far as I
can tell there's just a couple of crusty old white guys (of which I am one)
holding the fort and happy to pass on the reigns, such as they are.
I believe I am currently the only active list administrator, so just mail
me at webmaster@python.org if you are interested in joining that list. It's
not high-volume, but it's a part of the Python community's public face, and
so needs better representation from our rich community. Once you've
assessed the traffic and a bit of list history you can start pitching in
whenever you feel comnfortable.
Kind regards,
Steve

Forgive me, in haste I omitted the link to the web site developer notes: https://www.python.org/dev/pydotorg/

If you would like to try the site's development system, there is a moderate degree of documentation about how the site works and is maintained. Any community member with access to the necessary computing resources can build the site, though I confess it is so long since I dabbled in the code myself I have little current knowledge.
I CAN say fairly confidently that working on the site and improving the documentation would be a good project to get involved with to provide evidence of a certain competence and learn some software engineering skills. Also, because the code is open source it's suitable for use in educational and community projects. People who learn it have a real chance of changing the face of python.org.
The code for the site is a great resource, and running it locally requires competence that teams and individuals can learn.
Kind regards, Steve

Agree, it sure increases our UG's search engine visibility!
