I wonder if we can upload a copy of the tarball do GitHub in our artifacts. It seems like we should cache this. Do you know if that's possible?

It is possible. But I think we should have our own mirrors of all GPL projects and do that at there, not at this repo.

https://ftpmirror.gnu.org redirects to other mirror e.g. https://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/GNU// . So I think load is not a problem.

For reliability I'd like to see us do that in another step. IT's also just good practice for supply chain security given the large number of mirrors, etc. (Not for this PR for sure, though)
