Thanks for the work you are doing, as well as the bandwidth being volunteered.

Your email seems to be a good way of requesting such a change.  :-)  Normally, 
the maintainers for individual ports would update their section to reflect the 
availability of a new mirror.  For something more sweeping due to the large 
number of distributions you seem to be mirroring, perhaps you should contact 
<portmgr@freebsd.org>?  (Particularly since FreeBSD is in a "ports freeze" 
pending the release of FreeBSD 4.9.)

However, if you provided a diff of bsd.sites.mk which added your mirror for the 
software which you are hosting, that would be even better than having someone 
else figure out exactly what software you're mirroring.
