In this case, the github helper does not work because, as is, it only
intends to be used when there is no explicit tarball available for a
given version (i.e. a version on a sha1 or a tag for which there is no
official download location).

In this case, there is a release section with download links (that
should not be moved so often by github poeple).

Maybe this particular point could be more explicit in the manual...

Regards,
