Separate notification channel for release announcements

[harry-xm]

Previously I'm subscribed to all releases in this repository, but now that nightly releases are made everyday there is too much noise to keep up. Could you set up a low-traffic mailing list for release announcements only?

[patrick-stephens]

Ah, sorry for that @harry-xiaomi - we're trying to get nightly builds in to automate things and make it easy to test plus have a regular release cadence #4875

They should all be tagged as unstable-* and marked as pre-release but it looks like there is no way to filter this easily, I did find a few requests for it when I searched but no easy solution without parsing API responses yourself.

Would it be ok to add an announcement here in discussions for releases? @lecaros
I could automate this on the release job once #4875 is completed.

I've also added an update to the feature request here: community/community#10776 (comment)

@harry-xiaomi and others would be useful to indicate demand for the feature there.

Another option could be to publish the pre-releases in a separate repository.

[patrick-stephens]

Yeah that's probably the best option thinking about it so I'll see if I can update things to do that.

#5259

[patrick-stephens]

@harry-xiaomi I'm going to move them to https://github.com/fluent/fluent-bit-unstable-releases

This should be sorted now.
