I'm very slooooooooowly working on the updated website (between the many other projects I'm working on) but I've shared a few progress updates here. For example, the https://test.freedos.org/bugs/ page is intended to be a landing page to the bug tracking database - similar to what we already have on https://www.freedos.org/bugs/ I also planned to highlight some interesting bugs that new contributors might work on. What if I added a "tree" or some other organization to the new "bugs" page to point people to different bug trackers that we know about - if the maintainer isn't using the FreeDOS bug tracker at SourceForge? It's not ideal to have multiple bug trackers .. but FreeDOS is a collection of software, and some program maintainers may not use "our" bug tracker at SourceForge. Maybe this is a solution?
