Description

Apache announcements is rejecting our Curator release announcement due to a bad download page. Add one to the website that complies. Here's their automated message:

Announcements of Apache project releases must contain a link to the
relevant download page. [1]
The download page must provide public download links where current official
source releases and accompanying cryptographic files may be obtained. [2]

Announcements that contain a link to the dyn/closer page alone will be
rejected by the moderators.

Announcements that contain a link to a web page that does not include a
link to a mirror to the artifact plus links to the signature and at least
one sha checksum will be rejected.

Note that https://www.apache.org/dist/curator/4.1.0/ is not a valid
download page.

Whilst it contains the sig and hash, these should be direct links to the
files, and there is no link to the KEYS file.
Also the main zip file must use the mirrors, i.e. must use a dyn/closer URL.

Have a look at how some other projects do this, e.g.
https://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi
