[X] I want to provide a PR to resolve this

Overview

We should automate the releases of Mocha.

Why?

Lowers the threshold for releases
Minimizes human errors
Attestation of releases package

We could eg. do something similar to what I did in: https://github.com/neostandard/neostandard/commit/c9d442566833bf30cc1c7dc1117dc8de509d95ad

Additional Info

The (granular) access token should be owned by a bot account. I wonder if eg. the OpenJSF account could do this?

+1 from me on this. It's definitely something we should do as a team (as opposed to an external contributor).
