Hi!
I would recommend that you use the standard source handling as
documented on the SourceURL page.
The forge macros are no longer actively maintained or developed, the
last fix / update they received was almost two years ago.
The original author is no longer contributing to Fedora, and nobody
else seems to understand how the lua scripts behind those macros work.
So, if you plan to package releases / tags from your GitHub project,
just use what's documented here:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/SourceURL/#_git_tags
