First, yes, that's where the release packages were, in the extras
repository in CentOS 8 (both Linux and Stream)
[root at cs8 ~]# dnf list "*release*"
...
centos-release-gluster9.noarch                                   1.0-2.el8
                             extras
centos-release-hyperscale.noarch                                 4-1.el8
                             extras
 ...

Second, I think something is wrong with your install if you don't have the
extras repository.  Maybe you just need an update.
[root at cs9 ~]# rpm -qa | grep release | sort
centos-stream-release-9.0-12.el9.noarch
epel-next-release-9-2.el9.noarch
epel-release-9-2.el9.noarch

[root at cs9 ~]# dnf repolist all | grep extras
extras-common               CentOS Stream 9 - Extras packages
enabled
extras-common-source        CentOS Stream 9 - Extras packages - Source
 disabled

[root at cs9 ~]# dnf list "*release*"
...
centos-release-gluster9.noarch
 1.0-2.el9s                          extras-common
centos-release-hyperscale.noarch
 9-4.el9s                            extras-common
...
