Can there be a safeguard to prevent accidental release with the "no
tags" usage?
Today, having both tags correct may be a pain, but act as such a
safeguard.
Making it easier sometimes implies making it more dangerous.
Perhaps an option such as --auto-tags.

Are there instructions on what to do in case of an accidental release?
It seems easy to forget to run distcheck and upload a wrong tarball.
