GitHub does automatically create "Releases when we create a new tag. https://github.com/apache/daffodil/releases
Is there some API that's not available unless we manually create releases? Are you looking to have convenience binaries also published to these release? What kinds of information are you looking to query from the releases? I know some projects (including Daffodil) keep an updated "Description Of A Project" (doap) file, which is parsed by Apache to fill out project information that can be queried here: https://projects.apache.org/project.html This is our doap file: https://daffodil.apache.org/doap.rdf And this is the project page that is generated from that file: https://projects.apache.org/project.html?daffodil That has some basic version and release date information. And as I mentioned before, it requires that projects keep it up to date. I'm not sure how many do if you're interested about other projects.
