Technically Jakarta is the project and all committers are theoretically
Jakarta committers, it is only that Jakarta organizes itself
differently. Moreover, infrastructure probably is in the "kill Jakarta"
and "become a top level project" camp.
My own viewpoint is that being top level really offers us nothing and
looses valuable branding. Worse it adds the necessity to maintain a
private PMC list which tends to assume the bulk of discussion. While I
do not share this view, a cynical view is that killing Jakarta as a
brand serves certain large interests in that Jakarta is a powerful brand
in Java and until recently was a more powerful brand than Apache in
Java. I believe there was a desire to create a more cohesive Apache and
this was seen as part of the way. I however do not think one has
anything to do with the other.
At one time I had an automated script running the website but I was
asked to shut it down.

Your suggestions below would work with group jakarta, no?
Yes, but it would mean that any jarkarta committer could update the
site, which isn't ideal. But, it might have to do (if the infrastructure
team aren't keen on creating new unix groups)
If we do decide to stick with just jakarta permissions: Glen, can you
fire off these commands on cvs.apache.org?
cd /www/jakarta.apache.org/poi
chown -R .jakarta .
find . -type d -exec chmod 2775 {} \;
find . -type f -exec chmod 0664 {} \;
(That'll ensure everything is group owned by jakarta, set the
directories to group write with group sticky bit set, and set the files
to group write)
