There's not much maintenance required, for example new modules are
automatically picked up from the jhbuild modulesets, as well as new
versions of known modules published on ftp.gnome.org.

There are a few outstanding bugs (old development versions are pruned
from the index files but not from the server, and are getting indexed by
Google), and nobody to look at them regularly (I have been doing most of
library-web work during hackfests), maybe because it's difficult to hack
on, but mostly (imho) because there are very few persons working on
infrastructure, documentation, or both.

Indeed; as I wrote earlier I'd prefer to have ideas on the structure we
want before we go looking for the appropriate software (or changes to
the library-web code base).
