Hello,

I am the maintainer of the debuginfod.debian.net service, which provides
debug information over HTTPS to debuginfo consumers such as GDB.

It would be extremely helpful if the debian-debug repository offered
rsync access like the other repositories do.  The debuginfod service
needs to download the entire repository in order to index everything in
it, and doing so via rsync would be a no-brainer.

Currently, I use aptly to do the local mirroring.  It works great, but
has its limitations.

I would like to ask you to please consider enabling rsync access to the
debian-debug repository.  I understand that you might not have the time
to work on this, so I would like to volunteer to do it (under your
guidance, of course).  I'm a DD, btw.

Thank you very much in advance, and apologies if you're not the right
team to handle this.  If that's the case, I'd appreciate if you could
tell me where to submit such a request.
