And exactly this is what sources do *not* do.  Sources do not "register"
anywhere.  Sources do not need to know about routers, first-hops or others.

Sources just send packets out of their local multicast LAN interface.

*All* the rest (registering, forwarding, pruning, ...) is done by
the routers.
