mirror sites

[Brian Behlendorf <br...@hyperreal.org>]

Would anyone be interested in stepping up and being the official mirror
site coordinator?  I've just spent this morning doing an analysis of the
mirror sites, and found lots of sites that do not appear in the DNS
(temporary failure), or are over a month old, or on servers not responding
to requests, etc.  We need someone who can write a script to do an audit of
the mirrors, make sure they're at least less than a week behind, make sure
they don't add any of their own "customizations", send mail to mirror
maintainers, receive mail as mirrors@apache.org, and finally maintain the
mirror list on apache.org.  Anyone interested?  :)

	Brian

Sure, no trouble, would fit in with some stuff we do anyway.
