After my mail I asked on IRC and talked to FoxMuldV6. We got an ack
from Joerg from the mirrors team and I added a debian.net domain.
FoxMuldV6 is planning on setting up mirrorbrain on Saturday here:

Packaging mirrorbrain for Debian will be a requirement for the official
service, if you want to work on packages, please check out this:

Also, it looks like Raphael Hertzog is willing to sponsor mirrorbrain
and upstream might be willing to help with packaging:

There are also some recommended practices for Debian services:
