Comment(by haviah):

 Suggestion on maintaining tags (there was similar suggestion in trac,
 can't find it now):

 I'd use the https://gitweb.torproject.org/rpm/tor.git for storing clone
 for building Tor RPMs. The main reason is to avoid waiting for new git tag
 in case RPM build breaks for some trivial bug in .spec file. I've created
 a sample how it'd look like to fix some current bugs -
 https://github.com/hiviah/tor-rpm/branches (branches for stable and
 alpha).

 1. When tag tor-X.Y.Z is made in main tor repo, pull from the repo into
 rpm/tor.git (cron job)
 2. If the RPMs build OK, party (cron job; human signs the package)
 3. If RPM build fails, create a branch tor-X.Y.Z_rpmbranch
 4. Put the fix into the branch
 5. Tag the branch tor-X.Y.Z_rpm, sign the tag
 6. Create RPMs
 7. Add trac request to pull the fix into main tor.git
