I'll let Johnny comment on that but normally (if he has rights to push
to Sources) he's supposed to git commit & push to git and also push
binary sources to git.centos.org/sources/

But iirc, he reported that he had issues pushing to that area, so only
way to retrieve it was to use the src.rpm pkg pushed to vault.centos.org
