The website seems to be down so I'm not sure exactly who they are or
what they do :)

I would certainly consider it, and if there proves to be a strong
consensus I would definitely do it. On the other hand I believe in "if
it ain't broken don't fix it", and I must admit I am glad to host the
CLUG list and site, partly because it gives my server something useful
to do that helps justify its greenhouse effect impact :)

As I have said on the list repeatedly in the past, I am almost always
contactable on my primary email address but sometimes don't get around
to reading the list on a timely basis, so if something requires my
attention be sure to CC me directly. I do think I've always taken
action within a week or less when people have actually done that. In
case of more urgent serious issues my mobile number is obtainable from
whois.

With regard to having server access to make changes, usually some of
the more active people on the list have had this access, of course
I've now hosted the list and website for just 1 month short of seven
years and the makeup of the "active core" has changed several times.

Cheers
Thomas
