A script, a new repo, some new UI entries doesn't seem simple to me ;)

>  check which exact commits was used for a build

That's already possible just by looking at the build page. I don't see how adding scripts and so on would make things simpler than looking at a page and using "git tag...; git push...". The only difference with what you suggest is that CI builds are not kept forever.
IMO, the problem to solve here is not that things are technically complicated to do, it's just that people don't think about it.
Tagging or promoting a tag will always require a manual step from devs. If they forget to tag things, they'll also easily forget to promote stuff.
