Unless someone raises serious objections, I will accept any patch that
a) removes mirrors that do not carry snapshots and/or b) removes mirrors
that are more or less inactive.
In addition I think that in the future we should also list a contact
responsible for a mirror, so that we can check in case or problems,
similiar to http://www.gnu.org/server/list-mirrors.html.
