My (possibly outdated) understanding is that the sccache distributed compilation stuff is restricted to the build machines we control. Naively, I'm not sure there's a secure way to have machines in the wild contribute build artifacts, given the risk of malicious code.
It seems plausible that we could at least allow read-only access to the artifacts generated by the build machines, but that would presumably only be useful if the developer's system configuration exactly matched that of the build machine.
