Ok, correction, just to avoid confusion: 

s/mirror collection/archive registry/

As long as extracting the name of the archive and its location is
scriptable, my script can be adapted to it, I believe. At the moment, I
parse sourcecontrol.net/stats/archivestats.html for Name: and Home:
headers, and return the latter.

A similar function to mirror_sourcecontrol() should be easy to write,
for example, to parse the old gnuarch wiki's archive registry.
