QEMU release tagging script?

[John Snow]

Hi,

Is there a script that's public that you use for tagging the QEMU 
release? I see make-release in scripts/, but that's for creating the 
tarballs after the tagging has been done.

I am looking into being able to cut releases for our Python QMP library, 
but due to constraints in the Python packaging ecosystem I have not yet 
been able to solve, it requires its own VERSION file.

It would be nice if when 5.2.0 is tagged that "0.5.2.0" could be written 
into ./python/VERSION as well.

(Effectively I am targeting using '0.' + VERSION. This is pending 
discussion on the python packaging series.)

Thanks,
