Found an article on it here, according to this quote the "Humble Bundle" wont be affected:

Ongoing and future projects are said to be unaffected, and the restructure has "no impact" on Humble Bundle's operations.

I think that's corporate speak though, they've laid off all staff, they have no engineers, no designers. Apparently they're outsourcing from here on, but why they would have done that in the first place suggests that the business isn't sustainable.

Must admit it does sound odd, a case of watch this space I think

Humble Games is the publisher wing of Humble Bundle. Or I suppose was the publisher wing as the case may be. Every game they published that I played was exceptional, and wonderfully indie, so them seemingly closing down that whole part of the company is kinda sad.

Look at some of the reviews among these games - absolute bangers in there!

Steam Publisher: Humble Games

Humble Bundle loves games. We wanted to make it easier for developers to succeed and found that publishing is the next way to give back. We're having a bundle of fun bringing new games to you.
