We certainly should be doing this. I have some automation of release process tasks coming up, and will make sure that 
that is part of it. I want to think about how this is going to be done, process wise, and implement an automated process 
that takes gpg signing and tag annotation into account, instead of doing it one way (manually) and switching midstream 
to an automated process that may be different. So, short answer, is yes, we should be doing that. Long answer is "Let's 
do it via the automated release process so we can ensure it's repeatable."
