Thank you all for very helpful comments! I've carefully considered everything you said and I'm now mostly convinced, that PEP 508 actually doesn't need to be expanded to include version specifiers. Sure, if it would, some workflows will continue to work more or less as they were. But it's not a good excuse to introduce something as hacky as going through tags in cloned git repository and trying to match them against some expected patterns.
