Question: the interface of odb_source_read_alternates() still expects
parsed alternates to be written to the output strvec. The sources don't
get added to the ODB source list until odb_add_source() is invoked on
the source. Does this mean odb_add_source() will have to be able to
handle various different types of ODB sources? If so, will these be
differentiated by some sort of URI?

Yes, exactly. The plan is to use syntax like "files://path" or
"postgres://127.0.0.1:5432?database=myrepo". See also the discussion in
[1].
