I think you fail at logic. You could not have two mirrors linking to each others with neither listing the authors, if the first one to mirror was compliant with the CC-BY-SA. Posit the first mirror complied with and required compliance of that license. It would have to attribute in a reasonable form and require attribution in a reasonable form from those taking content from it. If the site copying from it, did not attribute in a reasonable form, it could in no way be considered compliant. Logic 101.
