GNOME does the same, to pick one example:

Tarballs are due on Monday, official release and announcement are on 
Wednesday.

We had that discussion, please see older threads: It's just that there 
is some internal testing before uploading the tarballs for "public" 
testing.
For rc1 tagging was on August 3rd, upload of the tarballs on August 7th.

clang+llvm-7.0.0-rc1-x86_64-linux-sles12.3.tar.xz is missing, probably

Yes, there are some downstream projects and distributions reporting test 
results and possibly uploading the binaries to different 
infrastructures.
For example packages for Debian and Ubuntu live at http://apt.llvm.org/.
