To be exact: an upstream maintainer (i.e. not a Buildroot maintainer).

The script will not "bail out" on pre-vendored tarballs; it will just
exit without touching the tarball at all.

I.e. it means that we prefer using tarballs as-is from their upstreams,
when they are vendored; we only vendor packages which upstreams have
not.

Yes, this is the goal.
