And I only write because I realized that when something really critical will be sent to all mirror maintainer, large part of them will just throw away that critical message as the routinely do it with majority of messages sent through thin list.

Hi Valeri,

As stated on the dedicated wiki page
(https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/CreatePublicMirrors)  mirrors admins
have to subscribe to two lists :

<paste>
the CentOS-mirror mailing list:
https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/CentOS-mirror (where you can
post and announce your public mirror)

the CentOS-mirror-announce mailing list:
https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-mirror-announce (low
traffic, moderated and for announcements by the CentOS team going out to
the admins of public CentOS mirrors)
</paste>

So, if you just want to read notifications about coming from centos
infra team, just read the ones coming from centos-mirror-announce.
This list is about new mirrors or existing mirror updates, so as long as
people are tracking the -announce list, and also that email contact info
registered initially is still working/valid, I personally don't mind if
people even unsubscribe from *this* list :)
