I think the idea is that having the Git repository in a public
location would allow the CentOS Hyperscale SIG to contribute to the
SELinux policy in a meaningful way.

Ah, ok.  That makes sense.
As I said, I'm not the maintainer so I don't know why it's where it is.  So I'll step out of the conversation.

Hi,

I am one of the selinux-policy maintainers. Currently, repository for Fedora is at github.com and RHEL sources are in an internal repo. We have already discussed moving centos stream sources to some of the public repositories, but it did not happen. Currently we are discussing it again, there are a few options how to do so.

To get just the latest repository content, steps described by Troy should work. Additionally, most of the upstream work is done in Fedora and anyway every new commit should go to Fedora first, RHEL content is mostly a subset of Fedora, there are very few differences.
