Description
On GitHub, I'm watching releases in order to be notified when we should update our dependencies. This works well for most of our dependencies.
However, I'm not getting notifications for Django's releases. I think the reason is that the project does not use GitHub's releases feature, but uses only the tag feature. I've been in contact with GitHub support about the same issue for Highcharts. See https://github.com/highcharts/highcharts/issues/10090 for details.
This is in no way a huge issue, but fixing it would make it slightly more pleasant to maintain Django projects for those who like to use GitHub's release notifications.
I don't see anything actionable that we can do about it.
