Creating a Github release usually works well, but for one particular project I can't seem to be able to publish: The Draft stays a Draft and never gets published.It happens both for forks and for projects I created from scratch.Happens with both Firefox and Chrome.
Even after I press Publish release, Github release stays as Draft

I just had the same issue, in my case the solution was the Tag version field at the top of the form.  As long as I left that field blank, clicking Publish Release did nothing and the release stayed in draft.  As soon as I added the version number to it, a tag was added and the release was published.
