I think its all OK:

chris at d6:/tmp$ diff -r PM1 PM2
diff -r 
PM1/Pale-Moon-26.5.0_Release/addon-sdk/source/python-lib/cuddlefish/_version.py 
PM2/Pale-Moon-26.5.0_Release/addon-sdk/source/python-lib/cuddlefish/_version.py
12c12
< git_refnames = " (tag: 26.5.0_Release, v26_Dev)"
---
 > git_refnames = " (tag: 26.5.0_Release)"

where PM1 was the original tarball, PM2 the currently downloadable tarball.


BTW to the maintainer, a nicer download url to use would be:
 
https://github.com/MoonchildProductions/Pale-Moon/archive/26.5.0_Release/Pale-Moon-26.5.0.tar.gz
which would give you a properly named tarball i.e. 
PaleMoon-26.5.0.tar.gz instead of the ugly and confusing 
26.5.0_Release.tar.gz using the current url.
