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 Fedora Mirror Wrangler

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.
