Comment (by arma):

 Good summary, Philipp!

 Thought 1: I wonder what is a good way to move to a conclusion here on a
 trac ticket. I guess we start by trying to post useful constructive
 thoughts and see where it goes.

 Thought 2: For people who can reach our website, we have our own
 webservers that we run. We've been making sure to scale up our webservers
 to be able to handle the people who want to look at our website and can
 reach it. So I don't think anybody is speaking of using mirrors from
 random internet volunteers to replace the website for those who can reach
 it.

 So the question for me is whether we want to let people sign up locations
 that we include in our gettor url rotation.

 Maybe gettor will work perfectly in all censored locations by offering S3,
 github, and google drive? If that's the case then adding new places, and
 needing to worry about how much we trust them, is not so needed.
