I'd suggest using that. mail: postfix and so on; we do not have a nice UI for 'gimp.org', only something for 'gnome.org'. gimp.org would be separate, probably using Puppet (pretty easy) website: we have stuff in place to automatically update websites from a git repository. Most is on RHEL6, which has PHP 5.3. DNS+whois: easy, we've moved loads of domains to the same whois register and into our DNS server. Note: GNOME infrastructure uses RHEL (except for a bit of Ubuntu,Debian,Fedora). We're still getting a few new servers in to replace the existing ones. But manual packages + working outside of 'Puppet' is frowned upon. As to if we want another sysadmin: send an email to gnome-sysad...@gnome.org.. always a team decision.
