For clarity, there is a feed from git to svn for 12, which has a a
slight timing lag.  svn will continue until 12 EOL, so there is time to
transition.  13 and onward will use git as primary.  git is source of
truth, which may be viewed here (You'll note in the top-right switch tab
that I have selected "stable/12").

https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/log/?h=stable/12

This mailing list is also authoritative (again I'm tracking 12 stable
via the branches)
https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/dev-commits-src-branches/2021-March/thread.html

Note that this is not a 1-1 mapping of things like
https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/svn-src-stable-12/
as there is now a concept of vendor (aka /usr/src/contrib).  So you'll
need to track those things separately as well, I believe.

As I only use 12, I am unsure if a git pull of stable/12 includes the
vendor changes or not, perhaps someone with experience could enlighten?

For completeness
Unfortunately this appears defunct,
https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/svn-src-stable-12/
though easier to read than searching for /12 in dev-commits-src-...
