Creating the github release is a step that has been missed before. I know that I have when I was the release manager for 9.5. I think that it's not part of the release script that we follow for a Lucene release, which needs updating. The script does include closing the current milestone.
I just created the missing 9.7.0 release, although the release date will be off, sadly. I will look at what needs to be done to update the release script so that we don't miss it in the future.
