Current evaluation

Feature request to add org.opencontainers.image.revision annotation to rockcraft pack (git commit hash or explicit value) for source traceability. Maintainer triaged as valid but deferred pending the store/revision concept; not yet implemented.

Suggested action: keep open

Reason: Maintainer cjdcordeiro explicitly triaged this as a valid request but deferred it, stating 'Feel free to keep the issue open for revisiting in the future, but for now, I'm afraid there won't be any immediate action on this' pending the store/revision concept. The annotation is absent from rockcraft/models/project.py (only version/title/created/description/licenses/base.digest are set), and the feature is blocked on an architectural decision about what 'revision' means, so it remains a legitimate open feature request rather than stale or a support question.

Impact: 45 Quick Win: 15.75 Staleness: 58 Complexity: 65 Confidence: 80 Support Request: 10

Issue body

### What needs to get done Add option to `rockcraft pack` to specify [org.opencontainers.image.revision](https://github.com/opencontainers/image-spec/blob/main/annotations.md#pre-defined-annotation-keys) annotation value or automatically use latest git commit hash ### Why it needs to get done So that it's possible to find git commit hash that a rock was built from
