Goodbye, Uploads

Nothing really prevents you from checking in your downloads in to a github web project though and hosting via that though (but probably not the fastest solution).

This is kind of a relic feature back when people compared github to SourceForge. Github is collaborative source code hosting (open or private projects alike) and not really open source project hosting.

Well then, what about Gitub Pages?

So, with GitHub, I can use the fancy git tools, I've got bug reporting and issue tracking, I can make a website about it, but I can't offer a download that's not a snapshot of the repo (barring any silly workarounds)?

Pages are definitely a development tool. Most of the time, (when some lazy dev isn't using it as their blog!) they contain useful documentation and instructions for other developers.
