Do we want git release tags that match ASF policy for our older releases,
or just going forward?

They're supposed to look like "rel/_release_". Given our current tagging
strategy, that would make e.g. the 1.8 release "rel/release-1.8.0".

(the rel/ namespace doesn't allow tags to change once they're created)
