As far as I was aware the board was going through the necessary process to wind up the non profit and transfer back to a community led basis. Talk again of shutting (effectively) the site worries me as I thought the conclusion at the last discussions was there wasn't a vast amount required to keep the site running. I remain willing to help with any bugfixing / php / html problems - I'm pretty familiar with the templating code. Depending on what's considered necessary I could potentially help with other things. I remain unsure what the 'problem' is. Cash doesn't seem to be a problem thanks to OSUOSL hosting, development is maybe a bonus but not so necessary to keep the site running. I was under the impression that the amount of sysadmin time required was not huge. I suspect a lot of the responsibility sharing could be done through bugzilla... the 'work' can be done by anyone and then checked in by 'trusted' party. I'm off to look at the current bugs and see if I can do anything useful there. And consider potential disaster plan alternatives.
