Yes, I definitely run a script to grab the CVS repository tarballs
every night, for both the Python and Mailman projects.  It's a simple
one line cronjob using wget so I don't even need to post the code in
case others wanted to mirror it too. :)

I think Jeremy occasionally sucks down the bugs database (painful
because he has to go through http to do it).  Don't think anybody
pulls down the patches.
