I sympathise but it does seem it took them far too long to get out their first release, that is also damaging to the community. It's true the releases and difficulties were noted in the reports but I’m wondering this this could of been handled in another way without so many unapproved releases. There is some room for improvement for instance it’s impossible to tell what is an official release and what is not here [1], there are also release candidates listed as releases. The druid website points to directly to that page for past releases (from the versioning page). It seems release are being listed on the druid.io website [2] and the main site links to that one which seem well a bit odd.
