Yeah. I support that we always need to release sources on our platform. Given the links to downloads.apache.org, archive.apache.org, https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.lua, can be unintuitive for users, I agree that we can have a simple Download page for such library-only projects.
Here is a patch to cover a minimal download page [1], which is derived from OpenDAL's download page [2]. Welcome to leave comments if you find any issues or things we can improve on.
