Very soft suggestion, it seems that for a long time only tags are created without releases. It means when first landing on this repo, it looks strange.
Latest release 7 years ago, which made me think the project isn't maintained since it's the first text I look at for any repo before the README. After some more searching including for alternative crates, eventually I realized the latest version is 8.x, not 1.x, and the project is well maintained.
I can understand not publishing a release with each tag - in that case, how about deleting the old releases completely? They are just GitHub metadata, tags will remain, and presumably 7 year old metadata isn't being used so could be safe to delete. Then there won't be any "latest release" called out in that UI and we can examine tags / README when landing on the repo.
