Sure it worth. From my POV, maintainer should be avoided the pleasure to
mess with selfhosted and selfpackaged tarballs as much as possible.
Besides of inconvenience it also less reliable (both in availability and
security aspects).
I'm perfectly happy to mirror anything if needed, by the way.

Selfhosting can be very helpful. I once had many downloads of hiawatha
from my server in my logs. So, I checked the hashes and discovered that
the distfile from the original homepage was not the same anymore. The
author of hiawatha had changed the file without any announcements...

We will see that anyway - when user will try to extract changed
distfile, he will get warning about incorrect checksum, so this is not
the case, i believe.
