So, I think it would still be useful to have an optional additional
out-of-tree mechanism of getting usable URLs if the URLs in .gitmodules
or your local config don't work.

I thought that was already solved in my original two-level
strawman and can naturally be extended to the three-level
strawman.  What am I missing?

Maybe I'm missing something but you only seem to talk about .gitmodules
and local config there, while this would be a way of automatically getting
URLs that are either not available in .gitmodules or the local config
or are outdated or should be overridden.
