Seems like they do, anyway, it just wasn't linked from the main page
until now.

I phrased it badly, my mistake. I meant that, if released versions are
tagged in Git, Gitorious already provides auto-generated tarballs. It's
not as ideal as the releases being explicitly made available on a
download page, but it's better than having the two being inconsistent.

Though, even then, MeeGo does it for many of their modules and it is not
the ideal situation.
