According to
3 out of 8 PyPI mirror are out of date or not available.
This is not good for the PyPI reputation.
Of course mirror can have problems for a while but the maintainers should feel in charge of maintaining and checking their mirrors regularly.
I propose that an obvious unmaintained mirror should be removed (temporarily) if it has not been updated after N days. Right now N = 50 and N = 69 which is hardly acceptable.
I started trying to track down the owners this morning. I managed to send email to 3 of them based on their I network contacts. Google responded that they don't want mail on that address (wonder whether that's ARIN conforming). The others I'm waiting for a reply and offered to help moving to bandersnatch. Lets wait how that turns out, maybe give it a few days now that there's a (seemingly) viable alternative to the existing setup. I'm also pondering getting a view more international VMs under my control and set up mirrors in more places. I'll look into that in case the other mirrors go away. Christian
