Where?  Not sure if it actually is documented in stone anywhere.

4.4-RELEASEp1 would be the 1st commit to RELENG_4_4 (aka the security 
branch) after  RELENG_4_4_0_RELEASE (4.4-RELEASE).

4.3-RELEASEp21 would be the 21st commit to the RELENG_4_3 branch, after 
4.3-RELEASE.

They are usually all documented in /usr/src/UPDATING, assuming you actually 
track RELENG_4_X.  Folks running -RELEASE, -CURRENT and -STABLE may see a 
different /usr/src/UPDATING, obviously.

I hope that's what you were looking for?
