This question was not answerd.  Did you ask request-pull to ask for
a branch to be pulled, or did you ask it to ask for the tag to be
pulled?

If the former, I would have say it is a pebcak.  Linus asked you to
ask a signed tag to be pulled, and you want to have the tag to be
pulled, but if you do not give "git request-pull" the tag but a
branch that the tag points at, the command does not have a good
reason to countermand your (apparent) wish that the branch is what
is to be pulled.
