As another user, and occasional bug reporter etc, I agree with you.

Who has editing rights on the current website? Or given the fact things
are looking so out of date, maybe we should instead ask who can GRANT
editing rights on the website?  It sounds like the developers could find
some volunteers here on the mailing list (e.g. Joel)

I have made some specific suggestions in the past:

(1) http://www.gnome.org/projects/rhythmbox/development.html
I would add a small section on the "Development" page about "Bug
Reporting", pointing to the feedback page

(2) http://www.gnome.org/projects/rhythmbox/feedback.html
When filing a bug using the URL given, it really helps to know that RB
is filed under "other". Either mention this, or better, can it be
preselected via the URL?

(3) http://www.gnome.org/projects/rhythmbox/development.html
Perhaps add ViewCVS links to the HACKING and INTERNALS files?  They look
quite informative for any potential developers...

Maybe we can follow the lead of other open source projects, and place the website source in the subversion repository.  Don't know exactly how the SVN would be pushed to the production site... but surely those with SVN write privileges would know how this could be done.

Just an idea.
