Grandstanding aside, it is probably best to take this in chunks.

The all-or-nothing fetch restriction control does seem like a good
place to start improving. I could certainly see where that could
create needless problems.  It just hasn't been much of an issue
because fetch restriction is rare.  Mirror restriction is likely a
bigger problem even if it is somewhat user-invisible.  Do we really
want to hammer something like dev.gentoo.org for patches that aren't
properly mirrored because the original source cannot be?
