Comment (by l2dy):

 Replying to [comment:2 ryandesign]:
 > We probably don't need another exposed option for this. We can tie it to
 the existing `github.tarball_from releases`.

 No, livecheck from the latest release works as long as the maintainer have
 been using GitHub releases (instead of only Git tags), but the source
 tarball is not necessarily distributed there. For example, weechat
 provides no download from releases and git-lfs only provides binaries
 there, but both have been using GitHub releases to put release notes.
