Description

https://github.com/zellij-org/zellij/releases/tag/v0.8.0 declares that Zellij now has a manpage. Unfortunately, the downloads on each release still only include the built zellij binary. The release should be given another downloadable asset that contains all of the assets (which appears to include layouts and plugins) in a directory structure suitable for copying into my prefix. Ideally there'd be a single download that includes the assets plus the zellij binary, but I assume you don't want to break the established expectation that the per-arch downloads are just the binary.

Research direction
The release process is likely defined in a GitHub Actions workflow (e.g., .github/workflows/release.yml). The issue requests bundling additional assets (manpage, layouts, plugins) into release downloads. A maintainer commented confirming the issue, so the next step would be to modify the workflow to package these assets alongside the binary. No linked pull requests exist, so this issue is available for contribution.
