simply relied on the automation to spot somewhat prolongued (unplanned)
episodes, and for short upgrades including reboots I just did it.

If we want to go down this path, and I can see it would be good for the
users, maybe a way for us mirror operators to actively disable and reenable
the mirror, would be the best (least amount of up front communication and
time coordination)? I'm thinking about a dedicated "enable/disable" SSH key
per mirror, with some automation at php.net central that the key could
trigger to take the mirror out of service, and back into service.

If you are interested, I'd certainly volunteer for co-development and
testing of such a mechanism.
