I believe this page is also relevant to what Stian's pointing out
http://www.apache.org/dev/release-download-pages.html#links

I will say this line looks wrong on the page, and probably is missing a
"not" - which would preclude pointing to github for downloads (I added the
*not*)

Artifacts which are not full official releases (for example, milestones,
betas and alphas) may *not* be linked from the download page. Links to
these artifacts should be removed in a timely fashion.

It is a bit odd that your downloads page is not linked from the homepage,
but it is available within the docs.  But that's an optimization not a rule.
