It's "click here for more info", so freeform.

I'm a little worried about it having too many directions (e.g. webmaster vs postmaster) and something freeform like infourl can cover it. Or we maybe something with user-defined labels would work: contact = postmaster mail-admin@example.com contact = GPDR https://our-lawyers.example.com/form.cgi contact = webmaster web-admin@example.com > > > Does that sound sane? > > > > I think so.

It should be easy to change this info down-the-line in case of project name/hosting changes, forks, etc. So whatever's latest should supercede the older. It would also allow partial mirrors to work with only the latest epoch(s) (I expect a partial mirrors of recent epochs to be more useful than mirrors with only old epochs).
