I think we should also investigate how other repositories like CPAN or the Ruby world deals with mirroring. A notification mechanism appears fragile to me. I believe that the mirrors should remain "dumb" in order to keep the complete system simple and solid - less moving parts are better than more. I really have a bad feeling about the approach as described in your PEP.
I'm also skeptical about that. I don't think this callback solves any specific problem.
