Excellent! And thank you for putting so much into it over the last
couple of weeks!

I think it depends what the whole release process is.

As a first step, a source release, I had envisaged just what I did with
the commit labelled "0.31dev" : 
(a) tag that commit
(b) hg clone it and zip the result
(c) upload to
https://sourceforge.net/projects/ghdl-updates/files/Source/
(d) update Wikis etc as required.

and I would certainly be happy to do that! 
but from what I can tell, the dist.sh script does considerably more.

There are too many combinations of OS, distribution, platform to cover
all the bases with binary releases! Debian etc would prefer to work from
a source release, and I believe we can encourage people to cover other
platforms; FreeBSD for example.

So as a first step, just pick a commit and tag it (or ask me to)
A few of us can test on our own platforms (David on MacOSX etc) to widen
the test base a little, and Joris can start the process for Debian.

Then I can upload a source dist as above, or if you have a source
release process, we will follow that under your guidance. I haven't
looked into scripting uploads to SourceForge but I'm sure it's possible
if we need it.
