I haven't found a way to disable github from providing those "release" 
tarballs, either.  :-\

Other projects (e.g., libfabric) actually put their release tarballs up on 
Github: https://github.com/ofiwg/libfabric/releases.  This still includes the 
un-bootstrapped tarballs, but the bootstrapped tarballs are more prominent, and 
it therefore diminishes the issue.

We haven't chosen to do this for most Open MPI projects, but it might be a 
possibility.  If nothing else, if it's a serious problem for your users, you 
could duplicate posting the hwloc tarballs to 
https://github.com/open-mpi/hwloc/releases.
