The usual approach is https://www.debian.org/mirror/submit but I guess
we can get it sorted out right here.

Where are you located?

Once I know, and the tracefile and alias thing below are done, I can add
the mirror.

Also, can you please say MIRRORNAME=debian.mirrors.uk2.net such that the
tracefile name matches the http hostname where the mirror is available,
please?

Perfect.
