Not to mention that redirecting people will alienate them away from
PostgreSQL and make us come across as pedantic and unhelpful. Just
because we see a distinction between the source code and our binary
installers (be they RPM, Win32 or whatever) doesn't mean that the rest
of the world will. They downloaded PostgreSQL, from the PostgreSQL
website, so will go to the PostgreSQL bugs page to report bugs or
problems (which may also be thought to be a bug in their eyes).
