All you need to do, once it is set up (which in itself is trivial), is to bump the version header. This is already the case with for example flymake.el and python.el. So while I agree that it would be good if Emacs could release major versions more often (we currently release every two years, AFAICT), I don't think this stops packages developed directly on master from following a much more frequent release schedule.
