Comment (by mcs):

 A couple of quick comments:
 * Can we automate the generation of the year portion? Leaving it as 2016
 forever will be a strange thing to do (or if we plan to manually update it
 there is a good chance we will forget to do so). One approach is to use
 the same method we use for COPYRIGHT_YEAR in gitian/descriptors/mac
 /gitian-firefox.yml.
 * We should carry the build id through to update_responses so that the
 update manifests include the correct build ID.
