At least we have a number of volunteers to take on the domain: Matthias
Urlichs, Alastair D'Silva, and Nico Bouthoorn, unless I've missed someone?
I suggest that anyone who has any opinion or preference on who to take
over, should make their voice heard now. Personally I don't have one :)
For me, the most important thing is that the source code is available in
a public repo on Github, a webpage is secondary. So, until there is a
proper owfs github page, I suggest keeping a redirect to the github repo
as Mike have done right now (or, if we want to avoid a redirect host,
just setup domains towards owfs.github.io as per
https://help.github.com/en/articles/using-a-custom-domain-with-github-pages,
and clean up the current mock page a bit).
Not sure if there is any need for MX records, the only contact point
that I'm aware of is the mailing list.

Do we have a plan on who will take over ownership of owfs.org

I did a redirect from .org and .net to https://github.com/owfs/owfs/
