... unfortunately, I can't find this instance in the documentation  
included with the sources. Is it not there, or lacking in my attempt  
to find it?

Regarding web site volunteers, that is beyond my time and experience,  
but ... might something be added to the site, perhaps under "Help  
Wanted" soliciting help regarding (1) web site administration, (2) bug  
tracking, (3) other administrative projects?

... that's probably been brought up and discussed before?
