Thanks for the script.
In OFED, since we control the upstream, I think we'll try to do
as much as possible at the package level, for example make sure
that each package has a reasonable spec file.
Some ideas on how we might want to do this below.

pull really will merge your local modifications with upstream.
In OFED we really want just git clone, and use upstream code unmodified.

See below on what we should do in OFED IMO.

This, I think, is the bit that we definitely want to reuse.

I think we will want to call make dist too.

This takes whatever's at git head and then tags that.
In OFED it is the other way around: maintainers tag
the appropriate bits, release script just packages that.
