This would allow gnulib_url to be set in bootstrap.conf so a mirror
could be used right?
Even before the recent Savannah outages apparently a full clone of
Gnulib can cause trouble on CI machines [1] [2].
Maybe it makes sense to document safe mirrors, like the Coreutils GitHub
group [3]. I'm not sure if there is an issue with that since the website
requires nonfree javascript.
