There's no way to tell cron to run a job on the first Saturday of a month, so we
tell it to run every Saturday, and manually check whether it's the first week of
the month. This is not ideal because we'll get notifications about failed
releases three times a month, but it's better than nothing for now.
1) the cron schedule was wrong: it was doing every saturday, rather than
the first saturday of each month.
2) It wasn't triggering a deploy despite pushing a tag because clearly
github doesn't want that to happen.
Now it triggers a deploy, and it also allows triggering from the UI,
letting you specify minor/patch bump and whether to ignore blocking
PRs/issues. As such I'm removing support for the old method of pushing
the tag. The new way is the only way.
Github actions refuses to trigger a workflow from another workflow, but
if you use your own personal access token (in this case,
GITHUB_API_TOKEN), it should work.
