[flashrom] Re: v1.4 not available on https://download.flashrom.org/releases/

[Patrick Rudolph]

Hi Anastasia,
Thanks for helping out here.

I was hoping to find a flashrom-v1.4.0.tar.bz2, if that's not possible
that's also fine.
Since doc/dev_guide/release_process.rst doesn't cover the naming of
the tarball it might happen again.
It also doesn't mention that VERSION file and tarball name must be in sync.
I guess it's fine to have both tarballs available for download.

Regards,
Patrick Rudolph
