The GitHub workflow for publishing a release does not work

[fohrloop]

The Github workflow for publishing a release (.github/workflows/publish-a-release.yml ) does not work.

• It triggers when PR is merged to main, but does not run the release step as those start like this:

  publish-to-github-releases:
    name: Publish wakepy to GitHub
    # only publish to GitHub Releases on tag pushes
    if: startsWith(github.ref, 'refs/tags/')

• It can be triggered manually, but does not run the release step for the same above mentioned reason.
• It will not trigger on tag push. The yaml starts with:

'on':
  workflow_dispatch:
  push:
    branches:
      - main

Going to change this so that it's only triggered with workflow_dispatch. The workflow_dispatch action is allowed by only the persons with write access to the repo (ref: https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/26622).
