Use GitHub release so people can subscribe to them

Hi!

First, thanks for this library 🙏
Here is a simple feature request: could you transform your git tag as GitHub release so people can watch the repo & get notified when a release comes out?
I have a little trick that I use that make it no-brainer:

This tool edits the git tag on GitHub and create a GitHub release with the correct changelog section.
In short:

• do you release process as usual
• just execute this tool when release is done, it will look into your package.json for the version, will read your changelog to find the right section to put.

You have a --dry-run option to test this before using it for real.

Note: you only need in addition to this tool a GITHUB_TOKEN available as an env var.

I like the idea btw - I had not even realized we weren't tagging them as official releases and I know it's hard to track otherwise
