Jason,
I have forwarded your request to the (I think) right mirror maintainers (Technical Operations) and will try to let you know if this is possible.
Independently of that, I think a Phabricator[1] ticket would be the best way to track requests like this. PM me if you have questions on how to do that.
Regards,

All,
I've begun using tor+https://mirrors.wikimedia.org/... for debian based systems and it's working great. No need to add apt.conf.d customizations or anything. Unfortunately, I'm unable to find an up-to-date https mirror of the Linux Mint repos. mirrors.kernel.org has one, but it isn't kept up to date, and their SSL certs require some fiddling to work. (disable hostname verification :( )
Would the mirrors.wikimedia.org maintainers mind mirroring the Linux Mint repos? The setup info is here:
https://linuxmint.com/mirrors.php
It takes about 25GB, and they request that it be sync'd twice per day.
For background, I've included my /etc/apt/sources.list.d/official-package-repositories.list
------------------8<------------------------------ deb tor+https://mirrors.kernel.org/linuxmint-packages/ serena main upstream import backport #id:linuxmint_main
deb tor+https://ubuntu.wikimedia.org/ubuntu/ xenial main restricted universe multiverse deb tor+https://ubuntu.wikimedia.org/ubuntu/ xenial-updates main restricted universe multiverse deb tor+https://ubuntu.wikimedia.org/ubuntu/ xenial-backports main restricted universe multiverse
deb tor+https://ubuntu.wikimedia.org/ubuntu/ xenial-security main restricted universe multiverse deb tor+https://ubuntu.wikimedia.org/ubuntu/ xenial partner ------------------8<------------------------------
I'd like to change the first line to point towards mirrors.wm.o as well.
thx,
Jason.
