Hello Adam,

First of all, I would like to thank the mirror team for all the hard 
work.

I see. Is this information publicly available on www.d.o or gitlab?

I see you updated the debian-archive list and resolved #1034832.

Since there is a generated version of Mirrors.masterlist and it doesn't 
appears to be publicly accessible, and the mirror team has its own 
standard, there is really no way for any "outsider" to know if the lists 
on the website is really good.

However, I do find one that should be included:
debian.cs.nycu.edu.tw looks up to date and should be on the debian-cd 
list.

Also, in Mirrors.masterlist.in, there is a duplicated entry:
Line 999 and line 1009
debian.cs.nctu.edu.tw and debian.cs.nycu.edu.tw
The university changed its abbreviation and domain name from NCTU to 
NYCU, these two are exactly the same. Also the sponsor's website 
(http://www.cs.nctu.edu.tw/) (line 1007) of the first one (NCTU) 
redirects to NYCU's website.

For debian-ports, linux.purple-cat.net is also up to date, but why is it 
not on the debian-ports list? Do you not accept new ports mirror?
