Ah... Updates to the repositories are an internal implementation decision between the CA, and the repository. None of the current drafts describe updating repositories. They only describe fetching from them.

Actually draft-huston-sidr-repos-structure attempted to do precisely that

Section 2 of that document may be a but implicit, but it defines as instance of a publication repository as containing all the signed products of a CA or the signed products of an EE. What is implicit is that neither a CA nor an EE would allow third parties to write to their publication repository. Also note that as these are all signed, foreign objects are detectable by relying parties.

Ok, what I said was poorly worded. I'll rephrase: None of the current drafts specify the mechanisms or protocols used to modify the contents of the repositories.
