Release checklist or minimal automation

[bryevdv]

Currently releases are purely manual, which makes it easy to forget to make/push release tags to the repo when a release is cut. Either need a checklist to help make sure all manual steps are carried out, or some very simple CI automation to push releases and make tags, etc.

Manual steps are more or less

• get tag <version> and then push to GitHub
• python -m build .
• twine upload -u __token__ -p <token> dist/*

There's probably a GH action for such a simple straightforward release. The only thing that might be nice is a way to verify the version format is as expected and also newer than any previous version tag.
