Comment:

 Here's a script that uses the github API to upload gertor as releases:
 https://dip.torproject.org/cohosh/gettor/commit/6a801cfe45753faba996dd3188e928c90e5ddd9a

 I've run it on a test repo I created and it works great! The only thing we
 need to do is generate an authentication token for the `torproject-pusher`
 user and store it somewhere safe on `gettor-01`. Instructions for
 generating it are here: https://help.github.com/en/github/authenticating-
 to-github/creating-a-personal-access-token-for-the-command-line

 I don't have access, so someone who does will have to do that.
