First, see the status links in the first para of
http://cran.r-project.org/mirrors.html . So it seems that the issue is not that the mirror is not accessible, but the part you are looking for is not current/available.

Second, the mirror list is
http://cran.r-project.org/CRAN_mirrors.csv
and that lists the maintainers. It is also in your R distribution, in directory 'doc' (but that is as old as your distribution, and mirrors do change).
