Hi, @birkjernstrom, I would like to try take this on. May please be assigned? I'm a web-dev & based on my previous experience working on projects that used Github actions to manage releases & testing methods in their respective CI/CD processes. I understand how I can implement it here to publish releases on Polar via events in the repo to the respective endpoints on Polar's API.

Thank you @brymut following up from our Discord discussion, but the tl;dr from that for others seeing this thread is:

• Awesome that you want to work on this. You're assigned. No permission grant required upfront, but...
• Great if you create a PR draft, discuss it on Discord and keep us in the loop vs. work in silent and create a bigger PR later - worse experience for everyone vs. frequent feedback & smaller reviews/guidance.
• As a starting point it would be great to get a short write-up on how you imagine building this that we can align on

Closing this.

No progress or actions made, and with time this feature has become less relevant and not something we've seen customers request.

So closing to stay focused on all of the efforts our customers request from us 🫡
