  From  The  Free  On-line  Dictionary  of  Computing  (13  Mar  01)  [foldoc]: 
 
  webmaster 
 
    (Sometimes  "webmistress")  The  alias  or  role 
  of  the  person(s)  responsible  for  the  development  and 
  maintenance  of  one  or  more  {web  servers}  and/or  some  or  all  of 
  the  {web  pages}  at  a  {web  site}.  The  term  does  not  imply  any 
  particular  level  of  skill  or  mastery  (see  "{webmonkey}"). 
 
  The  webmaster's  {e-mail  address}  often  appears  on  the  {home 
  page}  of  the  site.  Failing  that  you  could  try  sending  e-mail 
  to  {postmaster}  (from  which  the  term  is  probably  derived)  or 
  {root}  at  that  {host},  possibly  after  removing  an  initial 
  "www.".
