I have copies of all the emailed offers I received.
Of course there are also the various existing ftp mirror sites that may
also be prepared to provide web mirroring.

Not quite right.
Most offers were from private netizens doing their bit by offering to host
our cvs repository on someone elses system (eg. uni machines). A
couple of places were setup to provide homes or mirrors for different
projects so I have included their email addresses below.
(JMarc, I recall seeing a forwarded email on the list discussing web
mirroring with Jason Andrade from the mirror.aarnet site.
What happened?)

Offers for hosting cvs site were received from (not comprehensive) and
this selection are the best candidates for web mirrors IMO:
