Versions are hidden by the package maintainer for a reason. Why would you want
to override that?
I'll grant that the current auto-hiding of old releases might hide some
releases that some package maintainers might have wanted to keep public, and
that the mechanism for keeping older releases visible is a little cumbersome,
but there are some package maintainers who do put in the effort to explicitly
keep some older versions exposed.

Unless I'm missing something, release_data is "converted to HTML" in the web
interface already - that's what the release display page is for.
