[Bug 1583544] Re: an official mirror doesn't show in mirrors list in Update Center, Ubuntu 16.04

[Colin Watson]

Yes, Launchpad can't probe this mirror as it seems to either refuse
connections or time out.  (The mirror admin should have been notified
about this by email.)  I'm afraid that we can only list mirrors that we
can automatically verify as being reasonably up to date, so the mirror
needs to be configured to allow us to do so.

Title:
  an official mirror doesn't show in mirrors list in Update Center,
  Ubuntu 16.04

Status in Launchpad itself:
  Invalid
Status in python-apt package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  There is an official mirror mirrors.cug.edu.cn and I have seen it
  listed in https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+mirror/mirrors.cug.edu.cn-archive, but I can't find it in Update Center in Ubuntu 16.04, Chinese  mirrors list. 

  It seems that the package python-apt ships a template file for the list
  of mirrors, and then it doesnt get updated over time.
  There is a function called get_ubuntu_lp_mirrors but it doesnt seem to
  be used.
