This can be achieved today, if the upstream .gitmodules uses relative
submodule URLs. I normally place super-repo and submodules in a single
directory on the server, and use submodule URLs of the
form "../<modulename>.git". Now, downstream developers can "git
clone --mirror" the repos from my server, and - as long as they
preserve the directory layout - provide their own complete server
mirror, without editing .gitmodules. Granted, the existing submodule
tools don't make working with relative submodule URLs particularily
easy...
