Description

The first-party create-release GitHub Action we are using has been archived since Mar 4, 2021. We should switch over to a third-party maintained action, the create-release README suggests a few candidates, or do away with the action entirely (using github-script similarly to python-tuf, perhaps).

Research direction

Review the workflow using the archived actions/create-release action and compare the maintained candidates linked from its README. Check how python-tuf uses github-script as another possible approach; done means releases are created reliably without the archived action and the relevant release workflow remains valid.
