[Hosting] Call for volunteers: mirror maintainers needed

[Chris Hedemark]

At this moment I can't promise to maintain it but I'm putting the
finishing touches on a script that will create a ports.tar.gz for
FreeBSD and OpenBSD every day based on the latest ports in AnonCVS.

I was going to add NetBSD to that mix but I don't think it uses ports
(does it?)
