Currently, there's a link to releases  in the first entry of
https://grass.osgeo.org/download/ that points to
https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/releases. I agree that esp for 8.0.0 the
link to the tarball means a lot of browsing down.
How would you like to include the tarball directly in the website? Would
you mind creating an issue in the website repo?
