Would be a nice-to-have thing. I personally have a script for creating
the tarball in one command (after creating the commit). It does a git
clean, make, make distcheck etc. So the lock/push/unlock can easily be
added to such a script, without adding more manual steps.

In gedit it has already happened to have to distcheck 3 times due to 2
translation commits pushed. So this is something that *can* happen.
