As far as I can tell, the rtmpdump author has, move away from tarballs
and only uses git tags, now, as per https://rtmpdump.mplayerhq.hu/, which
itself seems outdated.

You may have better luck contacting its main contributor (Howard Chu), on
rtmpdump's own mailing list 
(https://lists.mplayerhq.hu/mailman/listinfo/rtmpdump)
or directly. FFmpeg only provides infrastructure for it, to my knowledge.

It was unclear you were talking about tarballs as you only referred to GitHub 
and
the FFmpeg-run git server...

That said, I am unsure why git is not considered secure / verifiable enough, 
compared
to a tarball. I would actually argue the opposite is true for autogenerated 
tarballs
like GitHub provides.
