It's not github's fault that RPM's tooling is stuck in the 90s, to be honest. makepkg and others support renaming tarballs during download to cover this use case.

I don't disagree, but it just feels off to tell a packaging tool to rename a tarball because the default name is not verbose enough to even identify the tarball.

But even so it is designed to be likely to get accidental collisions.
