Wherever the src.tgz, they should not be considered to be
unbreakable reproducible bitwise duplicate authentic or
traceable back to any repo since there is no provable cryptographic
chain back to same, only assertions over the breaking points,
which can and do fail in various ways.
Distributed cloneable distributable repo's based on crypto are
needed to do that, perhaps such as Monotone, or at least
sign Git's init hash.

Yes as those are nice milestones :)

Sorry, something you said was misinterpreted by me, and I was answering
something that I thought you had asked, but had not.  So it is a bit
difficult for me to explain what I meant with this part of my reply.

In any case, after the doc tree is tagged (which is included on the
installation medium for reproducibility), RC1 and subsequent RCs and the
final RELEASE build will be programmatically fetchable.  The
announce.asc file is only created for the final RELEASE build, however.

Users would have to get and search the entire lists content to
find such sig posts, unfortunately no there are no nice predicted
paths to such single emails supporting simple fetch of associated
sig infos, ie: no schema :///13.x/.asc

Mail are not, it can't... ie: it has no hier, path, file globbing regex *, etc.

The website and distribution methods mentioned earlier are
possible. (Now just for RC and RELEASE, as clarified in thread.)

Website has them in nice paths today,

individually...
https://www.freebsd.org/releases/12.1R/signatures.html

and in bulk...
https://www.freebsd.org/releases/12.1R/announce.asc

but they are not present in what should be their natural
cohabitation set within the other distribution methods,
such as the case of https / ftp / rsync / torrent / etc for...
https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/releases/amd64/amd64/ISO-IMAGES/12.1/

What that mean in context?
Only some volunteer for that role, as any other,
it's ok not to be in two or more of them.

Yes RC* seems the latest point in timeline
to begin excercise them.

Future noting that lists do not support foreknown path schemes
for that data. Whereas repo, website and dataset locations are more
predictable and programmatic... allowing fetching, validation, etc.

There could be a commit subsequent to tags, to hold all
relavant collected metadata results, created sigs, etc of
those tagged builds.

They will be added with the first RC build, after the doc tree is tagged
for the final release.  Since moving the release notes and other related
documentation from base to doc, this introduced a bug in the order of
operations I have not yet figured out how to solve the right way.  In
other words, adding the signed BETA* checksums to the doc tree for the
12.1-BETA* builds, turned out to be an error.

(Also note, the signed checksums were not available for previous release
BETA builds.  And there is the PGP-signed email to stable@ that contains
them.)
