Which information?

It is publicly accessible. The generated file is in
https://mirror-master.debian.org/status/ (which you can verify in the
webwml repository is where the website downloads it from), and the
status of each mirror can be checked using the URL from my previous
mail.

It's up-to-date now, but as you can see from
https://mirror-master.debian.org/status/mirror-info/debian.cs.nycu.edu.tw.html
, it's been having some issues recently. The "score" column needs to be
at least 50 for it to be included.

That's in the generated Masterlist file, and has Ports-* fields, so
that might be one for the web team to look at, I think.
