Subject: [PATCH] CI: Have the CI create a draft release on tag

If you tag and push it to the TheList repository, a draft release
will be generated that only the respository owner can see. They
then have the opportunity to test, amend and maybe publish it.

Note that the tag name will be used in someplaces such as the
assert name for the zipfile / notes.
