Yes, but then they should have their own web pages.

Quasi official releases should be the source release and all packagings
that follow the pgsql-packagers routine and policies. That we have
pretty good control over.

Everything else is just someone's random stuff, and while I have no
issue with that being listed somewhere on the web site, it should be a
separate page from the quasi official releases.
