If you look at the git history, you'll see in the c8
(https://git.centos.org/rpms/thunderbird/commits/c8) and c8-plus
(https://git.centos.org/rpms/thunderbird/commits/c8-plus) that there
were newer commits, also to release the 1:1 matching thunderbird (for
c8) and a different one for c8-plus (that doesn't disable openpgp).

The buildsystem interface is public, so you can see that both were built :
https://koji.mbox.centos.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=2346

So at stage it needs a compose+sign+push , so I guess it's on Johnny's
list for today :)
