The point was that developers themselves are often browsing repositories they do not own/contribute to.

And what is it those developers are doing?

Personally, I'm reading the README and/or looking at the contents of files. Plus looking at issues. Very rarely am I looking for the releases tab.

I'm amused that people are using the "I only do this every 6 months so I can't remember where it is" argument. If you only need the functionality every 6 months, perhaps not having it in your face every time you use it might be a good thing ...

Isn't the point that everything should be easy to get to (even if you’ve never been to releases, it should be obvious how to get there) but frequently-accessed things should require less effort?
