In this case I think it should be https://github.com/axboe/liburing/archive/%{name}-%{version}.tar.gz#%{name}-%{name}-%{version}.tar.gz, the ending weirdness is due to github renaming the archive strangely. You might need to pass '-n %{name}-%{name}-%{version}' to %setup/%autosetup to tell it what the extracted archive name is

Great news!  Will switch to that.
