Hi Carlos, It may not be required by policy, but the first 5 Apache project websites I went to all had download links for the source package on their download page, and any "Source" page pointed to the project's repos.
Apache's only official products are source code releases, not binary artifacts. I think we have to list the source package on the downloads page. I did see that one project listed the binaries before the source so maybe we can do that. We want to direct people to our repos as well, but they are not releases. I think we have the option of having our download link redirect to the GitHub releases page if that makes sense. And as Piotr pointed out, there are 3 repos bundled into each release artifact so the "Source" page should reference all 3 repos and the "Downloads" reference the package that contains all 3 repos. Again, this is why I keep thinking we need a separate user-facing/marketing site and domain that is distinct from royale.a.o which is more tuned to attracting new committers.
