infrastucture to come up with some way to sign off on the code being
used.
Like maybe writing a hash of the tarball in the sources file (with some
help from fedpkg perhaps) and checking that in? Then a server in the
Fedora Project infrastructure could fetch the tarball from the Source
URL in the spec and verify that it matches the hash.
I think it should work & it should be easy enough.

Also, instead of 'pulling down from random machines', it'd be enough if it is not a random machine, but packager's fedorapeople space. It'd be enough if there is a way to upload sources from there (and possibly remove them automatically after that).


Having a mirror of upstream SCM or something like it might also work too. (But some upstreams might not have any (public?) SCM).
