kernel.git: add "version-release" tags?

0) Would it be possible to add tags to the kernel.git repository
corresponding to the "%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}" tags (ie, rpm querytags) of
the kernel rpms (that have actually been released)?

1) Eg, checking out the current Fedora 16 kernel could be done with
    git checkout 3.3.2-1.fc16

instead of
    rpm -q kernel-3.3.2-1.fc16 --changelog | head
    git log -p origin/f16 | less
    [ grep on the string "Linux 3.3.2" ]
    [ copy a sha1sum ]
    git checkout 28b13140ec3375d59bac4f2d6bc336f7b8ed6fc7

2) Or would that require a lot of work for the people in charge of stuff
like that?

(3) This is not really a kernel.git specific thing. It just ran into
this issue once again with the Fedora kernel rpms, because I happen to
build those more often than other Fedora rpms.)
