When you do find out that a drop-down that has an OS list and says
windows contains source code as the 7th option, you get links

  https://www.qgis.org/downloads/qgis-latest.tar.bz2
  https://www.qgis.org/downloads/qgis-latest-ltr.tar.bz2

which will download to files that are named -latest and lack the release
number, causing confusion.

I suggest that instead there be links to

  the latest release tarballs with stable version numbers (both current
  branch and LTR)

  the directory containining all release tarballs

I have a hard time understanding how people that want source code want
other than something like

  qgis-3.44.5.tar.bz2

that is the exact bits as released.
