What I'm not sure about is how to keep the built artifacts forever.
Usually git-forge based projects keep release builds forever.
In our case we are interested in updating them during the development
window, to be well tested on release.
Also we need to modify the source tarball generator script to fetch
the artifacts and include them, isn't it?

I'm pretty sure. In case something is missing, adding it shouldn't
be a problem anyway.
