That is a test page included with our operating system; we don't actually control the site in question. Please refer to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ServerTestPage
A whois lookup of the domain gave the e-mail matlik@bigfoot.com, so you might try contacting that address.
Thanks, Ricky

Personally, I don't think we should be providing specific whois information to users. Regards,

1) It's not anything they can't get on their own. 2) It gives them a next step to try, instead of just getting swept out of our way. 3) Their not our users, they're just confused people that happen upon something that has our name on it. Let's try to project a positive image by appearing helpful.

Instead of providing a specific whois information, we could provide a tool where they can find the contact information. For example, we could simply refer to:
http://www.internic.net/whois.html
Don't you think this is a better approach? Regards,

Why? What's wrong with just providing the whois information directly?

I think we should display the information, then cite/state where the information was retrieved from.

I can think of two reasons - Privacy and Spam.
I just thought Fedora Project shouldn't be providing private information in the public list. That's all. :)

Can information provided via a public service be considered private?

I'm not trying to argue what's private and public information. I'm simply suggesting instead of providing a specific contact information, it's a better approach to provide a tool where they can find the contact information on their own. This will eliminate some of workload of answering queries via webmaster@fp.o Regards,

Just to chime in a bit,
I'm not sure if the demographic who emails webmaster@fp.o will be able to use the tool.
I think it's best to embed a form that gets the whois information from the website, that way spam is avoided and it gives users easy accessibility

yea, the form just sends the info to the lookup website and then displays the information on the Server Test page, maybe also a small heading stating where the info was fetched from
