I could push out more releases and tag nearly every new feature that’s
stable, if you like. But here’s my view that struggles me. I am using
releases to reconsider what’s done in the project and what could be done
next. Just tagging it would be a soft hint for you what’s changed. This
would be solved by having a simple Changelog file in the project, which
I would accept.

But you being a packager, here’s my most important question: Do you need
the checksum of the tarball? If not, then the link to the cgit interface
would be enough for download. This saves much time in the release gener‐
ation.


Sincerely,
