Duly noted. I didn't think it was used, as I've never written it in
meta before; however, when I packaged SRFI-128 there was a version tag
in the meta file that already existed in the repo. In the future I
will not use them, in this case I opted to leave it as I did not want
to change too many things.

This is interesting to know. I'll put it on the roadmap for future
versions. I can update them quite easily, however to actually put the
tag on Github requires me to message Arthur Gleckler (maintainer of
the scheme-requests-for-implementation account on Github), and ask him
to throw new versions up.

I do not know. You could do the same thing with a git tag, but for
some reason all the SRFIs on Github do this (so I presume there are
hysterical raisins of some kind behind this, potentially due to
mirrors that don't use git). I didn't include the tarball into the
meta file, so it shouldn't impact the egg.

Thanks Mario.
