Hi Waldemar,
We're considering possibility of dropping custom GitHub-based distribution of uClibc and moving solely to official releases.
That raises the question about reliability of the server hosting tarballs with releases.
So I'm wondering if there're plans to arrange a mirror (or preferably more than one) of uClibc-ng on say kernel.org etc.

I have sent an e-Mail to ftpadmin@kernel.org, let's see.

Tried ftpadmin@kernel.org, but got no response.
At least GIT is now mirrored via http://repo.or.cz/w/uclibc-ng.git
Any other ideas about free mirroring services?

Got a response. I need to apply as a project to get the chance to upload uClibc-ng releases. I will start this process.

That's good to know.
Other options I may think of:
[1] Yandex http://mirror.yandex.ru/ By the link above you may see list of project they mirror and email contact. Among other huge things like Linux distros they also have (a bit outdated) glibc here http://mirror.yandex.ru/pub/software/libs/glibc/, so may work for uClibc-ng.
[2] Mirrors of GNU stuff - http://www.gnu.org/prep/ftp.en.html For example: a) Easyname - http://mirror.easyname.at/ b) NIC.FUNET.FI - http://www.nic.funet.fi/
