You are right. I've just created a simple shell script which should do
cut a new release properly.

#!/bin/sh -uef

# A small helper script to release mtd-utils. Takes the new version
# as a parameter.

fatal() {
	printf "%s\n" "$1" >&2
	exit 1
}

[ $# -eq 1 ] || fatal "Please, specify the new version"
new_ver="$1"

# Change the version in the Makefile
tmpfile="$(mktemp)"
sed -e "s/^VERSION = [[:digit:]]\+\.[[:digit:]]\+\.[[:digit:]]\+/VERSION = $new_ver/" \
	Makefile > "$tmpfile"
mv "$tmpfile" Makefile

# And commit the change
git commit -s -m "Release mtd-utils-$new_ver" Makefile

# Create new tag
git tag "v$new_ver"

# Prepare the tarball
git archive --format=tar --prefix="mtd-utils-$new_ver/" "v$new_ver" | \
	bzip2 > "mtd-utils-$new_ver.tar.bz2"

# Upload the tarball
scp "mtd-utils-$new_ver.tar.bz2" casper.infradead.org:/var/ftp/pub/mtd-utils/
