Since games.kde.org is unmaintained atm - go for it, if you volunteer!

Which is what games.kde.org now. Just that there are no volunteers adding 
content.

We both are (btw: since I am the list admin of kde-games-devel, I guess it 
would be pretty bad if I wasn't even subscribed ;-)).

Well, my opinion is the same as always: the one who does the work decides. I 
haven't had the time to work on games.kde.org for a while - I have a few 
plans, but I don't think I'll start anything within the next few months.
So if anyone actually volunteers to do something - go for it!
