The current release process of a new BlueChi version to GitHub involves quite a few manual steps. Due to introducing submodules, the default artifacts of a GitHub release do not contain the respective source files - emphasizing the need for automation. Based on the manual flow, its easy to automatically create a release, including the required artifacts, when a new tag is pushed.
It also links this release process to publishing the python bindings to PyPi.
This is a proposal. If accepted, I'd also update the README.maintainer.md accordingly.
