That's using github's on-the-fly generated tarballs; it's also possible to
upload a "release artefact" which is the proper project-generated tar.gz.
See e.g. the irssi releases, https://github.com/irssi/irssi/releases/tag/1.4.5
(though also notice the ugly way they try to make sure people download the
correct file...)

(and it doesn't preclude _also_ having mirrors)
