Comment (by blockflare):

 Replying to [comment:1 yawning]:
 > It will only happen if there is an easy way to query the URL(s) for the
 current bundle/signature that factors in mirrors, a la the
 `downloads.json` file that lives on `aus1.torproject.org`, that is
 sufficiently trusted.  Where the bundle/signature is downloaded from is
 basically irrelevant if adversaries can block `aus1.torproject.org`.

 I made a pull request containing a `downloads.json` in the official
 GetTorBrowser mirror on github
