That makes sense to me. I only didn't put it there because it wasn't there
before (and again creating-a-release isn't quite explicit about it). I've
added it now

That one works as expected for me as well, but try with
https://sourceforge.net/projects/zsh/files/zsh/5.9/zsh-5.9.tar.xz.asc/download
instead. For that one, with wget 1.21.3 from Homebrew, i get:

  Saving to: ‘zsh-5.9.tar.xz.asc?viasf=1’

Even though the headers contain:

  content-disposition: attachment; filename="zsh-5.9.tar.xz.asc"

Right. Just wondering if they should also be in the doc archive, in case
someone wants to get all of the documentation in one place.

I had actually misread what Homebrew is doing btw. They pull the HTML files
from the doc archive *in addition to* installing the man pages from the
source one when you're using the bottle (not installing with --HEAD). So
there's no change needed for that.

However, when using --HEAD, they disable *all* documentation due to not
having yodl. If their policy allows it, they could pull at least the man
files out of https://sourceforge.net/projects/zsh/files/latest/download.
But if the doc archive additionally had the man and run-help files, they
could use that one archive to install *all* of the documentation (even if
it's a little outdated) even when building from source

I checked the doc archive for 5.6.1, which was the last release before that
change, and it looks like it contains basically the same files as it does
now. And the man pages are still in the source archive as mentioned
