I was frustrated to say the least, but knew I could not have been the first one.  I found an archived email sent by Thomas Koch to the VIM mailing list describing some of the problems with the management of scripts and the improvements he would like to see made.  Thomas also created a wiki page to organize his proposed relauch.

The great thing is that the website is built using PHP and MySQL.  That means I can lend a hand to make these changes happen.  I really don't want to see this project die off, so I have emailed the vim@vim.org mailing list prompting for more action.
