You can find all source tarball at https://inkscape.org/release/inkscape-${version}/source/dl/ and we are working on providing a packager-friendly source download URL page/scheme at inkscape-web#486

So, I'm old, but could we just make a "releases.inkscape.org" that was FTP-style. Just static with directory listings. That way we don't have to do things like run Python to just pipe a file from the filesystem to a network socket. And on the other side people don't have to parse anything. Keep it simple, don't invent anything.
