Subject: [PATCH] Mirror releases and seed README in AlvinArch-releases for
 discovery

Create a matching git tag + release in alvinlollo/AlvinArch-releases next to
the main repo release, seed a short README there pointing back to
AlvinArch (workflow status badges on top), and extend release pruning to
the releases repo so both stay capped at 3.
