I may have gotten myself confused and should probably sit back and read it again to see if I got everything right, but at first glance I'd say that it could be useful to have an easy-to-locate and unambiguous download location for build and source snapshots (for packagers and people who just want to get the latest stable version already).

I agree.

Packagers download from GitHub for now but sure having tarballs on qt.io will be better.

Here are a few existing packages to take inspiration from:

https://src.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/qt5-qtwebkit.git/tree/qt5-qtwebkit.spec
https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/qt5-webkit
https://packages.debian.org/sid/libqt5webkit5
