Please consider opting-in to immutable GitHub releases

[jayaddison]

The Immutable releases feature recently reached general availability on GitHub; please could you consider enabling it for releases of this acion? Thank you!

I've been meaning to look into the consequences but haven't yet. In general, I'd like this.

FWIW, the project I maintain and our upstream have enabled immutable releases, and from what I can tell the feature is quite well-designed.
Tag protection only hits once the GH release published – if anything fails before you can still delete the tag.
Also, you can edit the description or change latest/pre-release status in case something went wrong during automation.
Just the artifacts are protected.

The main drawback I can think of is, all artifacts have to be released in one go. Unlike PyPI, you can't attach new artifacts after a release has been emitted.
Note, if you're using ncipollo/release-action, make sure to set immutableCreate: true.
