Which issue does this PR close?
Rationale for this change
When we push a tag like
55.2.0
to github it now makes a github 'release' (thanks to @kou )https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/relea
However we shouldn't make a release until it is officially approved per ASF guidelines to avoid confusion about what constitutes an official release
