>Description:
htdocs/mirrors/mirrors.xml was added on 2021-04-26 assuming in order to
have sources of HTML.
However, the mirrors database is maintained in localsrc because it
contains possible personal information that should not publicly exposed
like phone numbers to possibly contact mirrors admins.
All changes to htdocs/mirrors/mirrors.xml should be integrated back to
localsrc/admin/mirrors, htdocs/mirrors/mirrors.html should be
regenerated based on that and then we can delete
htdocs/mirrors/mirrors.xml file (and possibly point out better possible
folks adding mirrors that localsrc/admin/mirrors should be modified!).
>How-To-Repeat:
Code inspection.
>Fix:
Yes, please!
