I got this example of pngquant, tags [1] and releases [2]. 
When upstream make a tag it will create a tarball and upstream can mark
it as a release or not, now seems github shows all tags as releases . We
can see that upstream doesn't mark last tag as a release !. 

BTW [3] Upstream Release Monitoring detects a new tag and try to build
it , that was a new and cool feature ! 

Hope can help you in some way .
