A few years back, I was building OpenStack packages on each push to the
repository. I was using Jenkins, I still do, but I've stopped doing
this, because Jenkins is too insecure to leave it opened to the world.
Though, I didn't need a new source package to implement this. I just
needed Git, and a bit of scripting.

All that to say: I really fail to understand why you think we need a new
source package format to implement tag2upload. Could you explain further?

I also fail to understand the current limitations that you're trying to
lift, and what issue you're trying to solve.

Cheers,
