 And this was your go-to plan? :) For the record, I don't mind so much
 about the changelog file not being updated. I've certainly messed up tags
 before, so no worries. To me, though, there's really two issues here aside
 from the release process itself: (1) someone declaring a release without
 talking to the project owner first, and (2) someone who really shouldn't
 have been tagging releases yet had sufficient access to do so in the first
 place. The fact that someone can show up, make about a half-dozen (albeit
 much appreciated) small patches and apparently have free reign over an
 *entire* repository (not just trunk) and start tagging releases of other
 people's projects is worrisome at best.

 doing the tag/tarball-sign for stable releases?

 Meh, between moving to a VCS I'm not particularly keen on, an 'alpha'
 release plan I think is a bad idea for now and the latest 'stable' release
 shenanigans, this has gotten to be more trouble than it's worth to me
 personally. Someone from Tor (Andrew/Roger/Wendy probably?) should get in
 touch with me (and most likely Justin as well), if they'd like, about
 actually transferring Vidalia's copyright ownership to The Tor Project and
 then y'all can tag whatever releases you want.
