It does not seem so...

And this date seems to confirm my suspects:

gimp-help-2.10.0.tar.bz2               21-Jun-2019 20:55  178M

Here my 2 eurocents:

1) I compile it on a day-to-day basis and I do not see any problem. I keep a
compiled version here that i manually update from time to time... 
(I'm going to update it today)

I think that a CI, connected to the git repo would be a very good idea.
Github has that feature "build-in", if it is difficoult to do with gitlab
why not create a mirror on github just for this feature?

2) it would be useful also to compile _all_ languages tar balls...

3) the site should report clearly the compilation time _on the web pages_

Best regards,
