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

[cdent]

If you're interested in adding a pull request that automates this, please feel free. I'd be happy to add that.

Otherwise I'll add it myself before the next release, but that may be some time.

Issue is that in the repo workflows I don't see your release process 😋

[cdent]

Currently the release process is entirely manual:

1. update docs/news.txt
2. update version in setup.py
3. commit those changes
4. git tag a version
5. python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel
6. twine upload

The reasons for it remaining manual are basically:

1. laziness
2. an expectation (apparently incorrect!) that paste is legacy and nobody should be using it so why bother?
3. rarity of releases

The reasons for it remaining manual are basically:

I mean the reasons it has been manual up to now. Changing it to be automatic would be great, but see point 1 (laziness)...

I have something in progress that will semi-automate this, enough that next time there is a release to pypi there will also be a release to GitHub.

Thank you very much 👍 😄
