The simplest solution on a static mirror that I can see for this would be

mirror to hit the upstream server - bad for bots.
Even if you limited it to just the /packages subtree? I guess I'm not
sure what scenario results in bot-havoc for a partial mirror. I mean,
wouldn't partial mirrors be basically private?
Right, that's what I expect in most cases, too. I see projects setting
up project-specificy PyPI-style index pages so I can see benefit for
that kind of application of not mirroring PyPI completely but keeping
it public.
