I never paid much attention to the repos in the past, but after reading a comment about "exploded src.rpms" I picked one to review... (https://git.centos.org/rpms/bash/commits/c8)
It looks like there was a process (or a person?) that would unpack released src.rpms into a git repo, delete Source0, and then commit whatever was left. Is that approximately correct?

Mostly. The Source0 was uploaded to the lookaside cache. You can find references to it in the <package>.metadata file.
