Is there an option to tag release candidates just like releases and
name/upload tarballs into expected locations just like releases?

That would make pulling release candidates (at least) into Gentoo an
almost automatic action.

Otherwise I'm always spending some time to name candidate as 4.8.26_rc1
(or 4.8.25_p154, or something else) downstream to the point I decide not
to package candidates to avoid user confusion.
