you may be right...they might have dropped it. It was clear that they
weren't keeping up with the releases which is why I stopped using
rpmforge's version anyway.

You can get tarball or rpm version directly from http://www.webmin.com

Note:

before you install webmin, install perl-Net-SSLeay
yum install perl-Net-SSLeay

if the webmin installation detects that package is installed,
connections are all done via SSL (heavily recommended)

that package is indeed in rpmforge
