RFE: is it possible to start making github releases?🤔

[kloczek]

On create github release entry is created email notification to those whom have set in your repo the web UI Watch->Releases.
gh release can contain additional comments (li changelog) or additional assets like release tar balls (by default it contains only assets from git tag) however all those part are not obligatory.
In simplest variant gh release can be empty because subiekt of the sent email contains git tag name.

I'm asking because my automation process uses those email notifications by trying to make preliminary automated upgrades of building packages, which allows saving some time on maintaining packaging procedures.
Probably other people may be interested to be instantly informed about release new version as well.

Documentation and examples of generate gh releases:

tox target to publish on pypi and make gh release https://github.com/jaraco/skeleton/blob/928e9a86d61d3a660948bcba7689f90216cc8243/tox.ini#L42-L58

I agree with this, even though I come to this conclusion from another point of view - but also because when
"official" releases are made, it helps ensure a certain quality (e. g. stable releases tend to work better than
shifting git-based releases in general, that was my experience at the least). Perhaps something that seems
reasonable, twice per year or perhaps even four times per year for stable releases.

No, no .. this RFE is not about frequency of the releases but about make github releases on tagging code which adds entries to https://github.com/google/shaderc/releases (which is still empty here 😋 )

On create that entry automatically is send email notification to those who have set Watch -> Custom -> Release.
