Those are Git tags; they have nothing to do with reproducible builds, because you're not providing the executable binaries that are the ones being distributed. It's a huge downgrade in terms of reproducibility of builds compared to Firefox. (It works for Google with Google Chrome because they have an entirely different business model where the whole thing is a walled-garden by design.)

Yes, I know those are Git tags. Click on them to find associated binaries. For instance, https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/releases/tag/v0.71.44. Not all tags have binaries, but most do. Those that reach a build channel always do.
What a mess, seriously! What is the retention policy? How far into the past are the binaries stored?
