List of mirrors - help needed

The ftp protocol is slowly fading away. Still, we provide the Vim
sources through ftp. Many sites also support using http or https. The
list of mirrors is outdated now, and I would like to change the order to
put the https sites first.

You can find the current list here: https://www.vim.org/mirrors.php

I would like someone to take the current list, remove the links that no
longer work, and find more https links. I susped quite of few of the
http links also support https, but that needs to be tried, and the
domain might be different to match the certificate.

For example, the main site is linked to with ftp://ftp.home.vim.org/pub/vim/
but is also available as http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/
and https://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/vim/

Is there someone who can take care of this, and send me to cleaned up
list?
