Note that Mirrors.masterlist.in is not used verbatim by any part of the
website. Rather, the Mirror Team's status monitoring tools (see e.g. 
https://mirror-master.debian.org/status/mirror-status.html ) generate a
filtered list containing those mirrors which are considered to be
currently "good enough" (i.e. have managed to stay up-to-date for long
enough), so not all mirrors in the .in file will appear in the results.

I haven't checked the ports list, but the debian-cd and debian-archive
lists being published on the web pages certainly appear to match those
included in the generated version of Mirrors.masterlist.

Can you point to specific examples that you believe should be included
in each, but are not?
