"""Helper tool for signing repo release tags correctly.
This is intended to be run only by the official Repo release managers.
This is intended to be run only by the official Repo release managers, but it
could be run by people maintaining their own fork of the project.
NB: Avoid new releases on off-hours. If something goes wrong, staff/oncall need
to be active in order to respond quickly & effectively. Recommend sticking to:
* Mon - Thu, 9:00 - 14:00 PT (i.e. MTV time)
* Avoid US holidays (and large international ones if possible)
* Follow the normal Google production freeze schedule
