It could be a cronjob on the cvs machine that queries koji for successful 
builds and creates such a tag where needed. Btw. afaics the tag is only 
needed to make it easier to know which tag one needs to checkout to get the 
sources for a build. But one could also manually look up the needed tag in 
koji, because it already stores which tag was used to build something.
