It's also mentioned on http://wiki.dlang.org/GDC and http://dlang.org/download.html links to http://gdcproject.org/downloads/ as well. The dlang page doesn't list all downloads or distribution packages, but I don't want to duplicate information on two pages and keep them synchronized and up-to-date.
That strikes me like a suboptimal metric to optimize for.
I think there's lots of valuable information on the wiki btw, which is often overlooked for some reason. For contributors, wiki.dlang.org is much nicer as you don't need ddoc, git, push rights/somebody to merge pull requests, etc.
dlang.org is authoritative. Again optimizing for ease of contribution is nice but the real prize is propagating information to the end user.
