Laurence is the release manager for Linux, I suspect he knows about all of that. :-)
No I didn't, so thanks.  Only stepped forward after the September workshop.
But even if the distro package maintainers release these versions, they also do so first for testing and can then still ask people to report their results on the Alpha project. Their source code is still coming from github as well.
Even if the package maintainers build and release, as you pointed out the versioned upstream code still comes from the project. I have just discovered that Gianfranco is doing daily builds (every 4h) and creating packages for Debian from the git master. This is a nice step towards CI.

Cheers,

Laurence
