[Mooney, Sean K] cathy if networking-sfc is setup the way I setup networking-ovs-dpdk
e.g. following the old infra new projects guide the Core team has the right to push signed tags.
In this case you would checkout the commit you want To tag.
Then you would tag it with "git tag -s x.y.z" I think its -s to sign the tag but its been a
While since I did it  last then you do "git push --tags gerrit" to push the tag to the repo.
Becareful to include at least 3 section in the version for it to be a valid tag for pypi packaging.

That said I don’t know if you have to tag the repo manually if you are using the openstack/release repo.
