Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Lightweight tags do not have information about when they were created or by who. The Git manual recommends to use annotated tags for releases because they contain the creator, the data and optionally a signature.
Describe the solution you'd like
Use annotated tags for releases from now on.
Describe alternatives you've considered
/
Additional context
I didn't know this until last week when I had to check the creation date and author of a tag and couldn't as it was a lightweight one (not in this project).
Notice the "commit" instead of "tag" (I think) in the second column
Annotated tags are meant for release while lightweight tags are meant for private or temporary object labels. For this reason, some git commands for naming objects (like git describe) will ignore lightweight tags by default.
