to suggest the usage of our Jira issue tracker for new-mirror submissions. I'm not a huge fan of Jira, but it seems to be the best that we have at the moment.
That should lighten the load on [EMAIL PROTECTED] and allow this list to be used for announcements and discussion that is of broad interest to all apache mirror maintainers.
So if you have an outstanding new-mirror submission that hasn't yet been addressed, please follow the instructions on that page. Also, changes to existing mirrors, or problems in our mirror infrastructure can be submitted in the same way. You can always follow-up on this list if you don't get any action.
Thanks.
Joshua.

Question - As subscribing to this list was part of the "How to become a Apache
mirror", is there any practical use to remain part of this list if you are
already a official mirror? (i.e. are there official announcements that we as
mirrors should read?)
Because all I see here are a stream of mirror applications, and discussions on
how they are not complying with the mirror requirements, and I'd rather save
you all the CPU and bandwidth of sending me all that. :)
Yes, unfortunately, this list is a combined submission/discussion/announcement list. It would be nice if we could have a separate channel for the first topic (submission) to lighten the bandwidth on this list. We did have it at one point, but it wasn't monitored very effectively, so mirror requests wound up getting ignored.
If there is a general feeling that there is too much traffic on this list (and hence it won't serve its purpose as an announcement list), we can try to redirect submissions to another location (like the bug database).
Opinions?
