Comment (by desmith):

 After some private discussions, I've completely rewritten this :D

 Rather than using a constant, this iteration of the patch adds a core
 function, `wp_get_api_request_url()`, used wherever `api.wordpress.org`
 previously was hard-coded. This function works like `home_url()`, in that
 it takes a path (and optional scheme).

 Also added a `wp_api_request` filter, called in the middle of the above,
 which would allow you to selectively override (if, say, you wanted to get
 plugin/theme updates from one place, but still use .org for news and
 docs).

 For this iteration, if you want to use a non-default API, the simple way
 is probably something like

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 add_filter( 'wp_api_request', 'override_api_dom' );

 function override_api_dom ( $url ) {
   $origdom = parse_url( $url, PHP_URL_HOST );
   return str_replace( $origdom, 'your.mirror.org', $url );
 }

 }}}

 Passes very basic tests but absolutely needs a LOT more testing. Also
 needs someone more familiar with all the non-WordPress-itself parts of the
 process (basically anything outside the src/ dir) to help with creating
 all the appropriate automated tests and so on.
