In the interim, you can update your GENTOO_MIRRORS to something that works.
Confirming. One fix is to add the missing `v` so that it reads `SRC_URI="https://github.com/google/${PN}/releases/download/v${PV}/${P}.tar.bz2"`
thanks, should be fixed here: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=e88225fe56f73fc9494b9d584a849509a005390d
