Description

Releases are available in some forks that include changes introduced in the forks in question. It would be very useful if in the fork report table there was a link to the latest release available for each of these, if available, for example by also including the date on which they were released (sortable in the table).

Research direction
Examine the existing fork report table implementation in the frontend JavaScript code. Integrate with GitHub's Releases API to fetch the latest release for each fork. Consider adding a sortable column with release date and link. Review any comments in the issue for additional context or constraints. Ensure to handle rate limits and cases where no release exists.
