This sounds a bit weird, but with some recent changes to the GRASS website, it has become more difficult to find and download a current stable release.

I went to find a tar/zip package of GRASS 8.0.0 source code to build and could not find one from the web site. The links all lead only to the GitHub repository.

I agree that it is missing from
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://grass.osgeo.org/download/__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!OlMal0b4Bg2Ln45s50D9ZlTogKcAjBi1TY_cJROtjmbFBnMjt35-MpP-FERw7NTgny4$

In my view (I expressed that also in the past) we should link a zip
file/tarball directly on that page. Just pointing to GH isn't enough
and we even have the tarballs on the server:
