It's worth noting that you don't have to use kup if you don't want to -- 
we have a mechanism to create tarball releases directly from tag 
signatures. You just have to add a special note to the tag and the 
backend does the rest automatically -- we have a handy script [^1] to 
make it easier.

Greg KH has been using this process for a while now.

If you would like to switch to that instead of using kup directly, just 
let me know.
