Yes, Jeremias is able to make changes.

I volunteered to migrate xml.apache.org/batik over to  
xmlgraphics.apache.org/batik, and that is 99.9% complete (all traffic  
to xml.apache.org/batik is re-directed to xmlgraphics.a.o). The only  
thing left, is to change the actual Batik links on the Forrest- 
generated PMC site 'xmlgraphics.apache.org' to point to  
xmlgraphics.a.o/batik instead of xml.a.o/batik.

It's entirely possible. The above works...

The source (xdocs) are in SVN, but the generated site is not.

I am using people.apache.org, but not for this. For this, I'm using  
the 'old' publish.xml file in SVN. I'll make that change and commit it.
