Thanks for looking into this. I think we need a "gbp push" after all since matching strategy might be too broad: you might not want to push changes for all releases and you might want to upload what you just built in one go. [gbp-posttag-push][0] does parts of the job already. It mostly needs some cleanup and robustness to be turned into a gbp-push.
