I've posted several times about this in meeting summaries: the 
foundation is moving toward taking over management of all of the 
vital ecosystem services, including code.dlang.org. My most 
recent comments about it were in the summary from our quarterly 
meeting in March:

https://forum.dlang.org/post/zfmkiqwkkexeaohjsuru@forum.dlang.org

See the section "D ecosystem services".

In our monthly meeting on April 8 (I'll have a summary for that 
posted this week), we agreed to get together with the maintainers 
of some of those services this month to discuss how to move 
forward. Most of them have responded that they can attend (still 
waiting on a couple), so it looks like we're on for April 29th.

I've already gathered resource requirements from most of them, 
and I've set up a foundation account with Namecheap to manage 
domain names. Seb has transferred dlang.io to us, and we have 
access to the account with dub.pm (Namecheap doesn't support 
.pm). Walter owns dlang.org, but will transfer it to the 
foundation before it comes time to renew it.

So we'll be discussing hosting, migration, etc., at the meeting, 
and formulate a plan to get things moving. At the moment, I'm 
hoping we'll have everything migrated by the end of the year.

Once this is complete, we'll have multiple admins in multiple 
time zones. So it's happening, but it's not going to happen 
overnight.
