There are two different ways that releases can be marked on projects on github:
with git tags
with githubs own "releases" feature
We support both. But as a step of precaution we only use the tags if there are no "releases". This is a rational decision to avoid false-positives when using heuristics to detect licenses, but there are several projects that have only temporary used releases and use tags now. We should have a whitelist to allow to mark such projects, so that the are updated by tags.
