Thanks for starting this thread and thanks a lot for verifying the download page for a lot of podlings!
For previewing a staging website, with .asf.yaml config, there is a way [1] to do so self-served by any (P)PMC. And I agree that we should spread such practices to every project. [1] https://github.com/apache/infrastructure-asfyaml/blob/main/README.md#staging-a-web-site-preview-domain For example, to recommend every project's verifying release docs (like [2]) have a check item to verify the (staged) download page. And instruct the RM to build such a staged page.
