I would like to propose we remove the subscription administrative confirmation for mirror-list and mirror-list-d.
*
As best as I can tell, the primary users of these lists are Fedora mirrors, with a few RHEL source and beta mirrors subscribed too, though for those tracked by MirrorManager, they are all also Fedora mirrors.
*
We no longer are adding new mirrors to the master mirror rsync ACLs, and have not added anyone to the ACLs for at least a year.* Therefore, the only “benefit” an admin gets to being on mirror-list from a Red Hat corporate perspective would be advanced notice of new bits being staged or made available, at most 1 week advance notice.
*
It would simplify the process for mirror admins to sign up, and remove an administrative duty that Adrian Reber and I have carried for several years.
*
Please advise.
*
Thanks,
Matt

How about just moving the whole list to lists.fedoraproject.org and
redirecting it from redhat.com entirely.
Then we can deal with it entirely ourselves...

(removing the 3 addresses no longer @redhat )
No objection here. There had historically been mirrors of Red Hat
content subscribed to the lists, but since the RHEL binaries are no
longer distributed, and AFAIK no one maintains a list of RHEL mirrors
aside from those listed in MM, making it @fp.o makes sense.

WORKSFORME, however RHT has used the list in recent time to get RHEL
betas mirrored.

Marek, there were no objections that I saw. Can you open this up now? We may still move it to @lists.fedoraproject.org, but for now, let's just open the perms.
Thanks,
Matt

This is fine with me, if no one objects I will open the list next week on Tue. I would also like to thank Matt and Adrian for their awesome work.
