Reviewing the thread, I think everything was ready (aside from a few
things that I promised to take care of), so I've pushed the change to
master.  Thank you for your contribution!

Subject: 29.0.60; [FR] use-package :ensure to allow vc sources
Date: Fri, 03 Mar 2023 22:57:36 +0800

I have been using straight.el [1] before `use-package' was taken into
emacs.git, as I needed to use some packages not from any elpa source but
from vc sources.  I recently noticed the function `package-vc-install'
has been introduced into 29, and would like to have `use-package' use it
in its :ensure form.

An analogous version from straight.el has already been made available,
which looks like the following:

    (use-package foo
      :straight (foo :repo "https://path.to/foo.el" :type git))

My hope is to extend :ensure form so that a similar specification can be
supplied to install packages directly from vc sources.
