Comment (by casiepa):

 Random thoughts, but I suppose most is covered:
 1. The committer will get an email to click on. Should all committers get
 this or just the one that committed? Probably just the one that committed
 as it's just the final step of the process
 2. Putting 'abc' in the Stable Tag would trigger this process. If 'abc'
 does not exist under /tags the current flow is to consider trunk for
 further steps. Any safety measure needed here?
 3. Let's say the limit goes on 100k. Today I have 99k and tomorrow I have
 100k, will I get a warning about the new way of releasing my plugin?
 4. 1 million? 100k? I would think that even a plugin with 20k installs
 that would have an issue could damage w.org reputation, so don't put the
 limit too high
