Description
**Describe the bug**
When I click on any of the releases on the renderer html page for a package, I get a GitHub Not found page. Shortly after I have received an email from Github saying:
> Please use the Authorization HTTP header instead, as using the `access_token` query parameter is deprecated. If this token is being used by an app you don't have control over, be aware that it may stop working as a result of this deprecation.
>
> Depending on your API usage, we'll be sending you this email reminder on a monthly basis for each token and User-Agent used in API calls made on your behalf.
> Just one URL that was accessed with a token and User-Agent combination will be listed in the email reminder, not all.
>
> Visit https://developer.github.com/changes/2020-02-10-deprecating-auth-through-query-param for more information about suggested workarounds and removal dates.

> Thanks,
> The GitHub Team
**To Reproduce**
Click on any of the releases on the renderer html page for a package hosted on GitHub.
**Outcome**
```
{
"message": "Not Found",
"documentation_url": "https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/contents/#get-archive-link"
}
```
**Expected behavior**
I should be navigated to the release page for that release or something similar.
