It also makes sense in ANY git project IMHO as "upstream" does not really mean "cananical, master repository" as it does with subversion.
It also prevents proliferating any temporary release branches you might be using during the release, forcing a user to do a 'git push' during release can be annoying, as you might not even HAVE an upstream repository.
