It's not clear how we can reference old versions of ed25519/x25519 from within this repo. All the tags are gone. If it's possible, we should recover them. If not, we can just refer people to the old repos.

The existing tags should probably be namespaced like curve25519-dalek/vX.Y.Z or curve25519-dalek-vX.Y.Z and the old ones deleted.

You might be able to write a script or something that can tag the releases from the history of the old repos.

I don't think there is use-case for this ? I suggest leaving the old tags as archive in the old repos and refer to pre-4 tags are elsewhere as they are fererred from elsewhere there so it wouldn't make sense to have duplicates from single source of truth ?

It’s unclear to someone who doesn’t know the history of the repo that the non-namespaced pre-4.x tags are for curve25519-dalek.

Renaming/namespacing them isn’t that hard.
