Could you release major version(s) of your GitHub action?

Bonjour! 🇫🇷
I contribute to GitHub Actions Kotlin DSL which provides an alternative to write GitHub Actions not in YAML but in a type-safe programming language: Kotlin.
To this end we provide type-safe wrappers for currently 72 (and counting) wrapper actions. Those type-safe wrappers are generated from its action.yml which we update when it goes to a new major version, for example actions/cache@v2 to actions/cache@v3
And of course we support your action as well!
Unfortunately when an action don't have a major version, which is what GitHub recommands, we are forced to update manually for every minor version, like from appleboy/scp-action/v0.1.2 to appleboy/scp-action/v0.1.3
See our issue here
Would you consider creating a major version for your action?
That would make our life easier, and the life of your users easier in general.
You can find here the recommendations from GitHub:

@jmfayard Hey Jean-Michel, thank you for reaching out. I’ll look into this next week
Note: in practice this is done by pushing a tag v1 to your latest 1.x.y release
git tag -fa v1 -m "Update v1 tag"
git push origin v1 --force@jmfayard Hey Jean, I’ve published a v1 tag pointing to the latest 1.x.y release
