We had thought about that for a bit, for a while, but Arnd is keeping
the kernel.org ones more up to date than Bootlin was, when we had need
of easy access to a specific new version.  Things may have changed since
then since it was 1-2 years ago, at this point.  But yes, a patch to add
an option to download from elsewhere (perhaps by base URL?) would be
useful I think.  I can see cases of pointing buildman at an internal
mirror instead for example.
