The Gentoo Mirror system is basically a set of scripts that syncs the
::gentoo repository, enumerates all URIs in SRC_URI for all ebuilds, and
fetches them.
It doesn't enumerate anything in any overlays. Overlay authors are required
to point SRC_URI somewhere useful (typically to an upstream URI.)

Gentoo Developers use "https://dev.gentoo.org/~user/distfiles" as an origin
URI for items where either Gentoo *is* the upstream, or there is no
upstream (e.g. a custom Gentoo patchset.) Any origin URI can be used; this
just happens to be some free hosting that Gentoo Developers have access to
use.
