Comment (by boklm):

 Some other idea, maybe for a different ticket: after looking a little at
 https://github.com/openbsd/ports/tree/master/www/tor-browser, I have been
 thinking that in addition to having a command to generate source tarballs,
 if that's helpful it might be possible to add the openbsd `www/tor-
 browser` directory somewhere into `tor-browser-build`. Then we could have
 some `make openbsd-port-release` command that would generate an updated
 `www/tor-browser` directory with:
 - `Makefile` files for tor-browser, browser, https-everywhere, noscript,
 tor-launcher, torbutton with updated version numbers
 - `distinfo` files for browser, https-everywhere, noscript, tor-launcher,
 torbutton with updated SHA256SUM and SIZE
 - `tor-browser/browser/files/extension-overrides.js` file with updated
 list of bridges and other prefs

 Then the openbsd port release process could be something like:
 - checkout the new tor browser version tag in `tor-browser-build`
 - run `make openbsd-port-release`
 - upload source tarballs somewhere
 - copy updated `www/tor-browser` to openbsd ports tree
 - go to the openbsd ports tree, start the build and commit the changes
