Neat!
I wonder if we could further simplify the “source” part, like allowing
(maybe optionally) for:
"source": "mirror://gnu…"
and then letting the importer download the thing and fill in the hash.
Likewise for a Git checkout:
"git": { "commit": "cabba9e"; "url": "…" };
Thoughts?

Both! :-)
As discussed at the GHM, I don’t fully measure that, but it can probably
help us reach out to more people.
Thanks!
Ludo’, who goes look at the patches.
