f7 doesn't exist as a tag.  There is 'dist-fc7' and 'f7-final'

Correct.  f7-final is the freeze tag that we are using to track the accepted 
packages for Fedora 7.  This is the final freeze period.

koji latest-pkg f7-final <packagename>

koji list-tagged f7-final

browse to tags in koji web, click on f7-final

etc...

THat URL is probably the wrong URL, where did you see it again?  Anywhere 
other than the mail you replied to?

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/builds?tagID=10 is a better url as it shows 
the builds.

See above options.

Yes.  Builds done from devel/ get tagged with dist-fc7, which isn't enough.  
They need to be tagged with f7-final which requires rel-eng interaction, as 
stated in http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ReleaseEngineering/DevelFreezePolicy
