Any distro will have their own kernel source rpm. Would you trust any other site on the web right now?

Linus signs each source release tag on Github. If you don't trust Linus, you shouldn't be trusting Linux at all. Most major distributions also sign their packages, and automatically verify. Make sure you are not disabling signature verification if you want to remain as safe as possible.
