> The person is just asking the person to tag a new release.

Just to point out, making a new release can be a fairly involved "all day" process depending on what supporting stuff needs doing. eg blog post(s), getting people to manually sign things, notifying other people, etc

Literally no idea if that's the case for this project, but it definitely is for some of the projects I'm on.

Yes for sure! And in fact the person clarified elsewhere on this thread that it would be multiple hours of work to create a new release (in which case I think they’ll asking for support is totally reasonable). But just from looking at the exchange on GitHub this is not clear.
