Thanks, pulled, since this now had the tag name and the description.

Two small further requests for next time:

This was still broken, and didn't actually have the tag name. Notice this part:

just points to the bare repo. And since that's the part my eyes are
trained to cut-and-paste (because this matches the normal pull request
format), I got it wrong at first before correcting my pull..

The other request is to just make your gpg key public, and hoipefully
get a few signatures for the future. I have your key since you sent it
to me in email separately, but nobody else can verify it since it
doesn't seem to be on any key servers.

So just a

gpg --send-keys FA2CAD78625F46CA

should fix it for you. At which point maybe you can find somebody to
sign it because they can verify it (locally or perhaps over the phone
or other side channel).
