----------------------------+---------------------
 As the summary says. This is part of the work being done in the Summer of
 Privacy 2015. I've created a script to get the mirrors from tpo in a
 secure manner
 [https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/ilv/gettor.git/tree/get_mirrors.py?h=develop
 here] (it's my first experience with Twisted, so reviews are welcome). For
 the moment, it downloads tor-mirrors.csv and makes a json from that file
 (sample [https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/ilv/gettor.git/tree/tor-
 mirrors?h=develop here]). After #16601 this won't be necessary. A sample
 of the file that would be sent as an attachment to
 [https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/ilv/gettor.git/tree/lang/smtp/i18n/en/LC_MESSAGES/en.po?h=develop
 this message] (mirrors_message) can be found
 [https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/ilv/gettor.git/tree/mirrors-
 list.txt?h=develop here]. The words 'mirror' and 'mirrors' trigger the
 option to send the mirrors in the email autoresponder (this is quite
 straightforward, I don't think it needs review).

 It would be great to have opinions about the code and/or the list of
 mirrors to be sent.
