No, but thats the argument you are using.

Otherwise what does that mean?

Check original post and subject ;)

We were going off topic, I was trying to bring it slightly more
on topic.  It seems like you do not have any real objections other
than I do not host in a public git repo, that is not the subject
of discussion either, neither is packaging or anything else you
have mentioned.

I do not really understand why not hosting in a public git repo
is such an issue, I would not be handing out write permissions
like candy anyway.  If you really want to help me and send a
patch I can apply it for you, use the -git archive to work from.

I do not really consider the python plugin to be serious yet,
once it is I am sure I will know things like that.  But at the
moment I have better things to do and nobody cares anyway.

If someone really wanted to know which git tag was with each
release then they could find out.  At the moment I am more
interested in expanding the API.
