Description

Hi,

I'm currently changing my actions to pin by hash, and at the same time depend on dependabot updating the actions for me.

Would it be possible to add releases/tags for setup-postgres (and other actions?)

I recently did something automatic for my own shared actions repo (example):
https://github.com/fizyk/actions-reuse/blob/main/.github/workflows/release-schedule.yml
https://github.com/fizyk/actions-reuse/blob/main/.github/workflows/shared-release-schedule.yml

This approach does require an app created.

Anyway,

Having releases/tags would allow to pin your actions by hash and manage updates with dependabot (and cooldowns)

Research direction

Review the referenced .github/workflows/release-schedule.yml and shared-release-schedule.yml examples first, then inspect the setup-postgres repository's existing GitHub Actions configuration. Add a release/tag workflow for setup-postgres, and verify that releases provide stable versions that can be pinned by hash and updated by Dependabot.
