Description

I was wondering if you'd consider adding git tags (or an equivalent) for your releases, so that Dependabot can show links and Release Notes in the pull requests it creates?

For example, here's what currently appears for a new release:

E.g. there's no link to the repo, there's no metadata showing what has changed, etc.

Here's an example of a dependency that supports this workflow:

Because they git tag their releases - this metadata will render in Dependabot's pull requests.

Thank you for considering!

Research direction

Start by inspecting the repository's release process and any GitHub workflow or package publishing entry points mentioned by the project. Add release tags or an equivalent release reference so Dependabot can link the repository and show release notes, then verify the metadata appears correctly in a Dependabot pull request.
