I tracked down the change to ftp.html using cvs annotate that last
touched ftp.html, to see if maybe the commit log included some contact
info. I discovered it was generated by build/mirrors.dat, so I looked
at the commit that was made at the same time ftp.html was regenerated
(May 30, 2008), which pointed me to the diff I saw. At that time I
realized that mirrors.dat actually contains the mirror maintainer's
e-mail.

Long story short, you can find the mirror maintainer's e-mail at
build/mirrors.dat.
