Lambertus is the server administrator. There is literally nobody else
that can help you as far as I know.
1. Are we aware of any other part of OSM infrastructure vulnerable to
such "hit by bus" situation?
No, the forums are unusual in that they were an existing external
service that we simply gave a new name to by pointing an osm.org name at
the relevant address.
Pretty much everything else is run by the main operations team.
2. Do we have a place where we could install the replacement in case the
forum stops being usable - or just to make "subforums" for countries
which wants to use this communication channel?
We made a machine available ages ago for the forum to be moved onto OSM
hosted hardware but it has never happened.
That machine still exists. I think it is turned off right now but we
could turn it on again. I don't think we would want to run a parallel
infrastructure though so it would be a question of somebody doing the
work to move things over or of starting from scratch which would still
require somebody to do the work to find and configure some suitable
software.
Part of the problem as I understand it is that the current site is
running a customised code base with various patches that have never been
passed upstream.
