RE: MirrorManager GEO IP API
https://github.com/mdomsch/geoip-city-wsgi
now has the decent start of a trivial lookup. It reads the IP address from the incoming
connection, and responds with the JSON-formatted result from the GeoIP City lookup, which
includes timezones. Plug this into an apache web server and you're good to go. It
doesn't do IPv6 though - the python library doesn't support GeoIP City IPv6
lookups.

Absolutely, reposting. I think this list is the right place to discuss
such things. And I just wonder -- anybody thinks this could be
deployed before the F19 is released?
It's possible.
First step it making sure the needed parts are packaged up.
