I am perfectly fine with any method to setup a mirror site. But the
academic mirror sites I am talking about only want a simple approach.
They want to pull files with rsync, rclone, or FTP and serve files with
static HTTP server. If we make Guix's mirror as simple as that, I am
confident I can persuade more mirror sites to support Guix.

That would be great. Although I still think letting academic mirror
sites do the job and saving the money would be better. As I said, the
ISP cost in China is expensive and academic mirror sites have plenty of
bandwidth and storage resources available.
