   > The ASF officially only distributes source packages.
   
   I would put quotes around "officially" and say that truthfully ASF project 
communities do publish packages to packagers like PyPi and Maven Central. For 
these we should consider publishing the known PURL.
   
   The official source packages that the ASF provides are structured and 
provided at known URLs, the artifacts are accessed through a CDN which can 
handle whether the artifact has been archived. The signature and checksum are 
in a certain location and you must know if these are current or archived. 
Providing a link to anything other than this source archive is not "official". 
These SPDX urls are wrong whether to gitbox or GitHub.
   
   > We should also consider publishing [Software Heritage 
Identifiers](https://docs.softwareheritage.org/devel/swh-model/persistent-identifiers.html#persistent-identifiers)
 for each release, which as of 2025 are an ISO standard ([ISO/IEC 
18670:2025](https://www.iso.org/standard/89985.html)).
   
   This looks incredibly opaque, I would prefer to eschew obfuscation.
