 Replying to [comment:7 boklm]:
 > If we decide to publish source tarballs, then branch `bug_25876_v4` can
 be used for that:
 > https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/boklm/tor-browser-
 build.git/commit/?h=bug_25876_v4&id=e7f96823c16fb9f15302a1d6464af10e573e6198

 I rebased this patch on master, in branch `bug_25876_v5`:
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/boklm/tor-browser-
 build.git/commit/?h=bug_25876_v5&id=ee759bad2b293fa1700ee463575f2618ed07111b

 With this patch, we can run `src-tarballs-{release,alpha}`, which create
 source tarballs in directory `{alpha,release}/src-
 tarballs/$TORBROWSER_VERSION`.

 However, it might be easier if we just put those files into the normal
 bundle directory, so that we can sign and publish them like the other
 bundles. I will make a revision of the patch doing that.
