Would more mirrors be useful? I've got a ton of spare upstream bandwidth

Sure. Always helps to spread the load more.
All you have to do is setup sa-update.XYZ.tld and add an rsync command every
10 minutes. Then we add you to the mirrors list weighted by how much traffic
you can bear.
As a happy SA user (since more than 15 years) and animated by Dave's
offering I have set up also another mirror:
http://sa-update.fossies.org
If meaningful it may be added initially with a weight=1 (may be increased
later). If not that mirror will be simply removed, no problem.
By the way, a little bit irritated I was about the large number of
mirrored rules tarballs (currently 4413 ones, the oldest from Februar
2007) and the inhomogeneous and at least to me somewhat unexpected file
permissions (partly "write" flag for owner removed, partly "write" flag
also for group set, partly "execute" flag set for owner or even owner,
group and other).
