It somehow got dropped in my lap, and it is certainly not something I ever wanted to be responsible for. I am too busy already taking care of the CVSup mirrors. It is extremely hard to support more than just a few simultaneous anoncvs clients at once on one server. You need screaming fast hardware and a monstrous RAM disk just to handle 4-6 of them.
