Since you're not addressing anyone in particular who could create the
release for you, the tag already exists on Michael's branch:
https://github.com/mdroth/qemu/commits/v1.7.1

And you can use scripts/make-release as an interim solution for creating
the tarball from it.

If you do, you might be interested in:
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/331939/

What's missing is someone who can upload the tarball and edit all
relevant Wiki pages. And someone to push branch and tag to qemu.git.

Regards,
Andreas

Thank you. However, I don't need the release for myself. I'd like to
submit an OVMF patch (ACPI table download). That patch causes an OVMF
regression when running on v1.7.0, but works on v1.7.1 (and of course on
2.0.0-rc0). I'd like the tarball to be available to users; both to
people who download it from the upstream location, and to those who use
1.7.x-based distro (eg. Debian) packages.

In my OVMF patch I'd like to reference the v1.7.1 qemu release.

(Side note, the patch is also fine on v1.6.x and earlier.)

"Can" as in "is willing", or as in "is permitted"?

I didn't know whom to address specifically.

Thank you,

As in "is permitted" I suspect.  Pushing to qemu.git can be done by any
commiter (i.e. peter for example).  Wiki isn't that a big issue too.
But I'm not sure anyone but Anthony can upload tarballs.

Anthony being swallowed by amazon leaves some holes ...  :(

cheers,
  Gerd

Anthony is doing releases and is the right person to poke.

I think all that's left is publishing the tarball and posting the
release announcement.

Yes, Anthony was tied up around release time and I was subsequently out for
a couple weeks due to a family emergency so didn't have a chance to follow-up
till late last week. I'll do the announce as soon as we get the tarball
uploaded. I'm still used to being able to walk next door, need to coordinate
in advance a bit better next time.

It seems you've ignored the reference to the make-release fix above?
Please apply and use for v2.0.0-rc1 (which we're also waiting for).

Thanks,
Andreas
