Could this issue be reopened please? I am also interested in the feature to disable the zip creation for each tag.

I'd, likewise, appreciate this feature - though a better solution might be code to check and delete the oldest of the cached zip / tar.gz files. These are getting crawled by bots on a large-ish repo and filling a 50 gig filesystem every couple of days for me. I might be able to mitigate that at the webserver level or with a robots.txt, but it's an unexpected failure mode.

I also would like to see this zip/tar disable function in the near releases.

In one of our project we have a repo with some submodule, and sub-submodules. For the ease of use the coordinator keeps the main repo up to date, so cloning it , or checking out one of its commit repesents a so called release.

Why don't you just change the templates to remove it from the webpages.

The source zip and tar.gz files are shared from archives. So that there is no extra space will be used. And I think maybe you want a feature to disable archives but I don't recommend you do that.

It's only generated on demand, and cleared on a cron. To hide it the templates can be modified.
