I noticed now that I lost the ability to adjust the list of mirrors offered
by packages.d.o - it no longer links to cgi.d.o/cgi-bin/download.pl, instead
it appears to generate the download page internally.
Kindly restore this thing alone, if not everything else.

Frankly, I couldn't care less, as long as it's done.
On a more general note, I understand the lack of interest to preserve access
for me when I don't contribute to stuff. I didn't make myself useful, so I
got cut off. That's fine. However, I have little understanding for when my
access is a priori revoked on certain niche things where I'm almost the only
person who cares about them, and mirrors are one such thing. It's utterly
unreasonable to bar me from accessing those things simply because of the
history.
Initially, when I humbly asked for access to p.d.o stuff in general to be
restored on 2007-05-30, I got rather rudely rejected by Martin Schulze, and
this was not remedied - rather, my request for explanation was completely
ignored.
