Did I dream it?
I was convinced we had installed a change a couple years ago which makes
`make install` include a (compressed) copy of our C source files so that
`C-h f` can jump to them even for those users who don't build
Emacs themselves.
But I can't find any trace of that anywhere.

Can't speak for way in the past, but as a user for the past 4 odd years I
never had access to the C source files in the docs.
