I'm not aware of anyone working on this either, and I try to keep track
of the changes to the websites.

Be warned, though, that there's a rather weird structure to these pages,
and it requires a couple of extra packages to be able to "compile" the
website.  There are a few people who know it well enough to make
changes, but there aren't enough of them to keep the website in good
working order, let alone to make large changes and maintain and update
documents.  This is in the process of changing, so if you want to help
out there are a couple of web-something lists at http://mail.gnome.org/
