The real issue is still access control. The "upstream" repo should be accessible read/write by the same people who are permitted to commit to the dist-git repo. It's my understanding that git submodules don't necessarily help with that. It's a shame that git can't reference an external repo (for history). That would massively reduce the amount of storage needed.
