In theory it's "easy", but in practice how'd you work? This would be
fine when a single developer is proxying a single maintainer, but when a
a stack of devs (project) are proxying hundreds of different people, it
becomes messy and unsustainable rather fast.
I do want to point out that any proxied maintainer can and should upload
the vendor tarballs to their own Github / Gitlab distfile-repos for the
time being, but allowing EGO_SUM to be used again would be the easiest
solution here in my opinion for everyone involved. I'm aware it's pushed
back due to technicalities.
