Since this is specific to the gd recipe I'd say in the recipe itself.

For entries that are more generic we can have them in mirrors.bbclass even if 
there's nothing in OE-Core that uses them, although it would be great if we 
could have a proper mechanism to extend this on a per-layer basis in future.
