If you want this, then you should better figure out actual upstream mirroring systems and their list of mirrors they would want us to use. Until such, this seems to be just for shortening SRC_URI addresses when an upstream tarball domain name or path repeats, and that's definitely not what thirdpartymirrors is for. Best, Mart Raudsepp
