Space.com. They're open to offers of help with a servicing mission, but aren't actively soliciting them. (it'd cost a billion dollars, sez this article).
Rand Simberg points out a fallacy about cost savings, in answer to those who think that skipping the servicing mission will save NASA money.
We won't save half a billion dollars by not saving Hubble. That's the average cost of a Shuttle flight, not the marginal cost, and most of that money will get spent regardless. If we're going to fly Shuttles at all, we're going to spend a few billion dollars a year, regardless of flight rate or where they fly to.
and since this post has begun to stray into funding territory, Simberg's post about prize money in the new NASA budget is worth a read.
