Hi Thomas,

Adam and I discussed and I agree with his points. His "patchseries apply"
script rewrite will already alleviate this issue to a significant degree,
but it will be even better if we can also use next-* mirrors on GitHub. Do
you know who I can contact about this?

Also, as of today our LTS testing is now moved over to GitHub, which should
help a little.
