Sometimes, mirrors are disabled automatically by MirrorBits when a mirror has issues, and that's great. But since we don't spend our time looking at the MirrorBits list, these disabled mirrors may stay so for days, if not weeks or months.

Usually when I add a new mirror (every few months or so), I check what is disabled and try to re-enable them, possibly notifying the mirror admin manually if the problem persists. Other times (like here), the mirror admin would get in touch themselves and ask if we disabled the mirror on purpose for a reason.

I see that there are AdminEmail and AdminName fields per mirror, but unless I missed it in the code, a quick grep seems to say that it's not currently used except for storing the information. What would be really great would be if MirrorBits could notify automatically the mirror admins (also adding in Cc/Reply-to the source server admin so that, first we can get notified too even if we may not have anything to do; and second that the mirror admins can actually answer to the email and have a human being on the other side).

The automatic email could attach the last few days of logs (as shown by a mirrorbits logs on this mirror) as this is often (not always, but often) useful information to directly understand an issue.
