Hey,
sorry no one seems to have replied; I'll try to break a tie of not
having anything official but still say something to at least give

there is nothing wirtten up yet but I think it's ok to give you my
understanding of the current state of discussions of the future policy:
no mirrors under *.freebsd.org not fully controlled by the project,
seems to be a pretty good summary.
We'll not make anyone immediately stop, as we still heavily rely on
these mirrors (at least the ~40-ish% not out of date) in the old world
order. Even afterwards, you'll still be able to happily provide mirrors,
how could we stop you, but no "official" mirrors anymore.
I think that's the direction we are heading; the reasons are many,
not just outdated mirrors we can't do a lot about, but I guess it'll
better if we write things up and properly do this as a "long term" thing.
However before more mirrors, and only talking about mirrors at this
point, will pop up, you might want to ponder a different FQDN, which is
not a sub-domain of FreeBSD.ORG, right from the start maybe.
