Currently, we have a dedicated custom scripts to: - create GitHub releases https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-release-scripts/blob/main/github-release.sh - create/push tags (either a script or a custom build step for ORM/Reactive) With JReleaser we can delegate both tasks to it and at the same time enable GitHub releases for other projects.
