I am told work is underway to allow this and I'm waiting for this too.The image packaging "protocol" is a series of GET and POST operations over HTTP. Writing a mirroring program should be a relatively simple exercise in either shell or Python, depending on which API you wish to use. Using the Python APIs will help the image packaging effort haveinterfaces of higher utility.That is, the data is already available to mirror.
I belive that in the long run this should be as simple as rsync(1)-ing a dir... When I see this GET/POST + python magic to move bits from A to B it makes me think of over-engineering and reinventing the wheel :-))
