We currently creating a tag locally and pushing it to GitHub.
By instead creating the tag in the GitHub UI while creating a GitHub Release, we get two benefits for users:

• The current release version is immediately viewable on the repository site.
• Users can use a custom Watch on the repository to receive emails when releases are created.

We should adopt this process for all of our repositories.

For PyMongo, the release note should point to a relevant post on https://www.mongodb.com/community/forums/. For other repos, we could consider using the auto-generated release notes provided by GitHub.

To close this ticket, we need to update [RELEASE.rst|https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-python-driver/blob/master/RELEASE.rst).
