As fedora cvs says that the "sources" file under rpms/getmail/devel
which has "getmail-4_11_0-1_fc12" tag contains "getmail-4.9.2.tar.gz" [1], 
I guess that after you uploaded getmail-4.11.0.tar.gz by "make new-sources",
executing "make tag" _failed_.

You can either
- use force tagging (although I have heard that this is not recommended)
- or just bump release number on the spec file and tag again
