Description

First and foremost, thanks for the awesome job with the bootstrapping tool, it saved me many hours of work :-)

However, I've stumbled upon an issue that I maybe an easy fix. When debugging pyapp releases, we usually need some iterations to get things right. GitHub Releases imposes limit rates that makes this process harder.

So I wonder if the URLs can be changed to a GitHub CDN (jsDelivr, or other similar), to bypass the strict rate limits of GitHub.

The issue names no file or test; start by locating where GitHub Release URLs are assembled for Python distribution fetching. Check whether the proposed CDN can serve the required release assets and avoid the stated rate limits. Done means releases can fetch distributions through the selected CDN without relying solely on GitHub's rate-limited URLs.
