Proposal: tag version for "Releases" subscription

Proposal.
It would be amazing for many people to only subscribe to "Releases only" instead of "Watching" in order to stay updated on the latest news in the template and not receive emails for all individual issues.
It would be enough just to use the tags I think, maybe only consecutive increases in version or date (e.g. 2020.05.01-1).
Can you consider the idea?
Sorry two times submit.
People can currently subscribe to https://github.com/sveltejs/template/commits/master.atom to only get commits to master. It doesn't really feel worth the extra complication to automate the tagging like that.
Atom to email address is not a thing today unfortunately. So I will not switch to it and I will stick with "Watching".
Maybe we can automate this once and do it on every Svelte/Sapper github repo.
I think it's not a big work: every commit in master > new tag automatically > new release.
Github actions?
@frederikhors why would we tag every master commit? Every master commit isn't a release.
I'm going to suggest that this is an extra maintenance headache that we don't have the bandwidth for, and that if you want to be notified of specific releases, it's worth writing a script to use the github API or similar.
If you think it's critical, we could review a PR to do the work you want to do, but I can't guarantee that it would get accepted.
