I was thinking a generic system though I'm not sure that the tags should
be free-form.. My first thought is a "release" tag, ie: 9.4.2 or
something. Having a 'committed' + '9.4.2' view would be kind of neat.

Yeah, but "Open" currently means June. Perhaps that's not an issue but
it still feels awkward to me.

This would be the release tag that I'm suggesting above.
