There's shim-unsigned* which is built in Fedora, the output of those
are sent off to be signed and then the signed binaries are put into
the final shim packages which don't have source code but they are
still built on Fedora with the source, just in a two step process due
to the out of band signing.
I think it's more complicated than that because the shim package can be
cobbled together from multiple different shim-unsigned package versions.
Anyway, I think Fedora strives to be better than “you can find sources
somewhere else if you just look hard enough”. Can't you automatically
include all relevant SRPMs in the shim SRPM?
Thanks,
