Research direction

Start by reviewing the project's existing Git tags and GitHub releases, then determine whether HEAD is considered stable and what release policy applies. Done means a maintainer-approved release decision and, if appropriate, a new tag or GitHub release.

Description

Hi! Distributions like e.g. Nixpkgs often use git tags and/or github releases as a cue for automated package updates. The latest OpenSfM semver tag dates to the August of 2020, and there have been many updates to OpenSfM since. I'm not familiar with OpenSfM's release schedule/policy. Would it be possible to push a new tag? Is HEAD considered stable/safe to follow?

Thanks!
