Here is a problem that I discussed with Marius earlier today.

I often do not know whether all my setup.py settings are correct until I try 
to upload a release. I frequently get the "Development Status" classifier 
wrong and I won't be told it is wrong until I try to register the release.

So I usually create the release first and upload it and after that create the 
tag.
