Might not be a bad idea to just do that and keep it simple for now. Based on my experience with other open source projects, when someone shows up who's passionate about working on the website, they'll generally have their own preferences about CMS's or whatnot. So, I think you could stick with something simple for now, and delay setting up a CMS until there's a stated need.
