Comment (by yawning):
This sort of thing is kind of covered/touched on by #20792.
It will only happen if there is an easy way to query the URL(s) for the
current bundle/signature that factors in mirrors, a la the
`downloads.json` file that lives on `aus1.torproject.org`, that is
sufficiently trusted. Where the bundle/signature is downloaded from is
basically irrelevant if adversaries can block `aus1.torproject.org`.
It's not something I'm going to fight for or push for, so it's up to
someone else to make the appropriate metadata happen, document it, keep
the metadata up to date, and point me at the documentation (or provide a
patch) if they want this functionality.
