Contributions are very welcome :) It is not hard to do release builds from a continuous integrations. I've done that for a couple of GNU projects [1][2][3][4][5][6]. What it takes is essentially - Add a "make distcheck" command at the end of your CI job. - Add a section "The created tarball" to the README.md of the CI project. - Inject a specific version name (possibly the date, possibly a suffix "-alpha") into the configure.ac before the build starts.
