Yes; but it's much easier to have a defined number of branches off of kernel.org which have priority access. Those who wish to be additional mirrors can work off of those branches. It may make for an extra step in the chain; but in the long run; it pays off; and allows for greater expansion.
Receiving priority access to these trees is always a possibility as well.
