The matter is open in all cases. There are several points to consider:

* the git repository is now hosted by qt.gitorious.org - who, which
company, hosts this right now? Is this hosting mode sustainable for
the foreseeable future?
* we need a real, workable, issue tracker, and SourceForge's one is
not one of them; ideally we want Atlassian Jira (believe me on that),
and this has to be hosted somewhere;
* this mailing list: it is hosted by Trolltech right now; qt-jambi has
been "given" to the community, but as to the mailing list, how long
will it be hosted?

In any case, one thing only can untangle all of this mess: money...
Either "ours", or a third party's. Gregor Mückl (who hosts
Monnlight3d, which uses qt-jambi) told me on IRC that there _might_ be
a possibility. Might. It's not a certainty and I certainly understand
it: he has limited means. As we all do.

And even if we have the hosting, the administration side of things
remain. However, I am up to that particular task, it is my job, along
with managing build systems (no wonder I have worked on this
particular side of qt-jambi :p) But people's time taken to handle
these task is time (money) they cannot spend elsewhere. Whatever. I
can, have, and will, work off-hours for administration/maintenance.
Provided the hosting is there...
