Comment (by arma):

 In an ideal world, the goal here would be to make it so a service admin
 (i.e. not a bridgedb dev) can take the instructions and the build artifact
 (tarball, git, etc), and arrive at a correctly deployed bridgedb service.
 Then somebody can install bridgedb somewhere, maintain it, report bugs
 back to the developers, upgrade when a new release is ready, etc.

 It is maybe overkill at this point because we don't have a separate
 service admin who can pick it up and do that -- so putting more structure
 around the release process might be a waste of our precious time for now.

 But going through the process once is probably a good idea even if we
 decide not to put that much formalism around it medium term -- I bet we
 will find a bunch of surprise changes in the deployed bridgedb service,
 that you would be unlikely to guess about given what's in git.
