That would be great indeed! :)  Thanks a lot for the work you've done
so far!

Actually, there is another place where the website mirrors are listed:
the 'Resources on the Internet' handbook chapter,
doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/eresources/chapter.sgml
A month or two ago I had an idea about adding contact/maintainer info to
this chapter, similar to the way maintainers are listed for the CVSup
and FTP sites in the 'Mirrors' chapter, but I never quite followed up on
that.  Party on! :)

G'luck,
Peter

I had to translate this sentence into English because I could not read the original Sanskrit.
