Email archives are irrelevant for the provenance of sources; an arbitrary tag/commit not sealed with `rel/` prefix might disappear and we will lose the context to "what was proposed/rejected for release" .
We don't have hundreds of releases with dozens of RCs for each. I would rather see my `git tag -l` neatly output rel/0.1.0 rel/0.1.0-rc1 rel/0.2.0 rel/0.2.0-rc1 rel/0.3.0 rel/0.3.0-rc1 rather than rel/0.1.0 rel/0.2.0 rel/0.3.0 prefix-for-tag-nobody-cares-0.1.0-rc1 prefix-for-tag-nobody-cares-0.2.0-rc1 prefix-for-tag-nobody-cares-0.3.0-rc1 RCs are subject to provenance, IMO. Wanted to share my 2 cents. This is not a mountain I am willing to die on.
