[CF-metadata] How to help correct problems with CF documents on github

Let me preface my concerns again volunteering to provide mildly knowledgeable technical labor, if the issue is simply shortage of hours.

Problems with the new Trac site:

1) Apparently there was a transition where the new site http://kitt.llnl.gov/trac/ is now the real site?
    - If so, I missed that announcement, sorry (or if there wasn't one, there needs to be one.)
    - If not, we need to clarify what gets reported where 'in the meantime'.
2) I can't log in to the new site. I see the hint is 'Trac', or maybe 'Trac.', but the obvious escapes me.
   - The password I have saved doesn't work (even on the old site) -- may be operator error, sorry if so.
3) If the new site is the official site can we make it straightforward and documented how people get accounts and recover passwords?
4) The upper left logo error (logo missing, not a crisis) sends you back to the old Trac site (http://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/trac/). Be warned.

Suggestion re the process of reporting problems:
A) Rather than reporting all problems on one ticket, create a new ticket for each problem and use the component 'cf-trac-site' or 'cf-web-site' as appropriate. There are a large number of problems that result from reporting multiple problems on one issue ticket.

I have some additional issues with the new site, including Rich's, but perhaps best to resolve the above first.
