I belatedly learned that Randy Kobes, the person who was running the ftpmirror.gnu.org redirector, passed away last September. http://perlbuzz.com/2010/11/passing-of-randy-kobes.html
Fortunately, Sylvain implemented the redirector for dl.sv.gnu.org on savannah and left some notes about it in download.txt (in bzr). The question is about the redirector for http://ftpmirror.gnu.org, which has always been running on Randy's machine. It seems the path of least resistance to now also implement that on savannah, since sv already has the necessary modules, etc. Sound plausible? If anyone else is interested in taking this on, great, otherwise I guess I feel duty-bound to be the one ... ? Thanks, k
