I got it from here: https://savannah.gnu.org/git/?group=emacs

My chain of progression to this page was:
1. Google GNU ELPA
2. Go here: https://elpa.gnu.org/
3. Gio here:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs/elpa.git/plain/README
4. Ultimately follow "Getting the source" section of README to here:
https://savannah.gnu.org/git/?group=emacs
