The source code is available, so you can make any kind of modification 
to it you like.

Expecting someone else to do if for you seems optimistic, though. It's 
interesting that you phrased this using the passive voice, avoiding 
mention of that person.


However, in this case, this functionality is already supported by setup, 
by selecting multiple URLs in the "Choose A Download Site" page, or 
specifying the --site command line option multiple times.

See the discussion of an "overlay" package server in [1] for more details.
