This is news for me. So to see if I understand the Gentoo mirror network, everything I place in SRC_URI is already mirrored when using my personal overlay in git.gentoo.org? >> Same question for unpack context when using directly the source >> repository with vcs functions. > VCS ebuilds generally suck, for multiple reasons.

So, using local mirrors means that is the responsibility of the end user to review the ebuilds and create, for example, the local git mirror repository and then define EGIT_MIRROR_URI in make.conf to override for all ebuilds?
