Should be fine, although I'd like to add something about it to PEP
101, just to make it official.  How about in the "What Next?" section,
something like:

"Turn ownership of the branch tag over to Jack so he can make the Mac
release.  He'll typically twiddle with patchlevel.h and may make a few
other checkins as needed for the Mac.

When he's done, he'll add another tag to the branch: X.YaZ-mac.
"

That way we'll have the source tarball tag in the branch and the mac
release in the branch and we could recreate either.
