I'll volunteer to help out in maintenance. I'm in agreement with Jim  
that PyPI definitely needs some sort of mirror system. While I  
currently advocate that people using setuptools based installations  
maintain their own egg repo in case PyPI is unavailable, it'd be  
great to have mirrors. On a side-note, I don't know who maintains  
PyPI now, but thank you for the great job, for a single un-mirrored  
site, the reliability thus far has been great.

Cheers,
Ben
