Sorry for the top post, but the issue of download pages has been raised at the 
community and board level. The incubator is a great place to steer projects in 
the direction of making it easier to verify that download pages are conformant 
with policy.

To that end, I'd propose adding a SHOULD to the incubator's download 
recommendation to have the download page for the project be

https://project.apache.org/downloads

This could be redirected to a downloads.cgi if the project feels strongly about 
adding ease-of-use factors to the download experience. But it would be a good 
start toward making it easier for mentors to check that the podling is in 
conformance.

Warm regards,
Craig
