there should be a submission form for mirrors.
if a mirror supports https and is being checked on a regular basis (could
be done using a script test downloading the file) it should be relatively
safe. for additional security the hosting service should be checked for
trustworthyness manually to ensure that it is not fooling the bot by
providing a different download for his ip. as long as a mirror is
considered safe and up to date it would be kept in a pool like the
bridges.
this way people could spread mirrors on all kinds of services and websited
making it impossible for a censor to block all mirrors without breaking
major parts of the internet.
