I went looking for documentation on when and how to request special dist tags for rawhide to make soname bumps less disruptive and didn't find any official process documentation for packagers.
I ended up just filing a releng ticket, which will probably do what I want. But I think there is a problem. Either the documention is harder to find than it should be or there isn't any. I did find something for tagging in new rawhide packages, but that isn't quite the same thing. My knowledge that you can make such requests came from email messages I have seen on the mailing lists.

I don't believe there is any documentation. Feel free to start some (:

Filing a ticket with releng is the correct action needed to trigger having it happen?
I'll be wishy washy on when people should do this. That can be updated later.

Yes, a releng ticket is the correct way to get the process started. Releng may then have a conversation with you regarding your need, but the ticket is the initial contact point. - -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- FreedomĀ² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating

I added a brief section on requesting special dist tags in rawhide to: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_update_HOWTO
