Hello,

Just a small note about this, a large number of AUR packages pull tarballs from github (or other git platforms), including all of the source packages I maintain.
[...]

A large number of packages from the official repo pull tarballs from GitHub as well.

Heftig and I just gave our personal thought and recommendations about this but, as you said, there's no mention of this in the wiki because pointing sources to a specific {tag, tarball, commit} is currently a matter of personal preference. As far as I know, there's no defined standard regarding this on Arch side as of now. Each method have their pros and cons. As long as you're aware of them, you can use the method you like.

So don't worry, you can still pull tarballs from GitHub in your packages :)
If this is subject to change and if a standard is ever declared, I assume a proper discussion/announcement would be made.
