Describe the bug

This is probably more of an opinion but it feels wrong for a open source project website to bury the link to the source far down the page.

Expected behavior

The link to the github org should be prominent and available without hunting. Maybe a link the top nav or visible elsewhere without too much scrolling. Perhaps a github icon to reduce text clutter.

Screenshots

This is an annotated screenshot of the full page at my laptop resolution. The yellow line is my "fold" line and the red box is where the links to the repos are (the releases also have a link but they are at about the same vertical location).

This situation is even worse when in mobile mode, you have to scroll about 80% down the page to get to the github:

Seems fair enough. My personal preference is that it should probably be in the header. I see opentofu has something like

Agree, or a ribbon like

We don't need to show other repos like valkey-container. (That one is just for release automation.)

According to comments in a chat:

It will also be solved once we add the design on the download page with the prominent Github button.

I'm not sure that 'Download' is where I'd expect to see a link to a GitHub repo. GitHub is source code, not a download artifact.

My personal workflow when I'm looking at a project always look at the GitHub before I do anything else - it answers a lot of specifics that you don't typically see on a website. I don't think of as a way of getting any software but rather a way to contribute or investigate the source code.
