I see no benefit in getting upstreams of minetest modules to do releases. From experience, most won't, and that's also not how things are done in the gaming world.

I also think your getting a mesecons release was pointless - it's just a random commit that got a name. Correct me if I am wrong, but I do not think upstream did anything special for it, it is not a stable release or anything. So picking a commit myself is just as good.
