And I found it. It is in the devmanual after all, just under different wording. I was searching for "distfiles", when I should have been looking at the "Mirrors" section. Looks like we do have some behind-the-scenes magic that copies SRC_URI files from devspace straight to the mirrors. Just way too used to the /space/distfiles-local thing.
