I'm confused here, who else could be the contact here, but some volunteer?

The same sentiment was repeatedly voiced by several people from the
GNUnet e.V.-Vorstand, basically echoing your point that GNUnet e.V.
should simply not be in the business of throwing money at DNS, and that
we can do all we need to do under gnunet.org.

So maybe we keep it simple and let Martin and Amatus do as they see fit
as individuals with the names tg wanted to part with. That said, I
personally would not mind if they anyway use GNUnet e.V's mailing
address to obscure their personal address in whois.
