I commit changes to a local repo behind a couple of firewalls
that do not accept external connections.

That private repository is the master.

That information is mostly useless.
I do have a signed public mirror of the repository which any
one can read, and branch and pull from, but it does not take
commits.

I do. Arch configs were present from the very earliest days of
Arch, and most of the non-toy arch projects I have seen do use
configs to pull together a project from multiple branches/

URL's are not what would be needed.
The information that is required could possibly be couched
like so (RFC 2822 field folding) (for flex in stable)

Hmm. This still does not provide a pointer to my archive gpg key.
