This is not correct. Here are Wladimir's attestations on the 22.0 release: https://github.com/bitcoin-core/guix.sigs/tree/main/22.0/laanwj

There is no separate special release key anymore though. Instead, the build attestations (by anyone) can be used as your trust basis.

There is no new website. The Bitcoin Core project website has been https://bitcoincore.org for years. I don't know why https://bitcoin.org hasn't updated to list the 22.0 release, though; that's up to them.
