Gitea version (or commit ref): 1.7.4
Git version: N/A
Operating system: N/A
Can you reproduce the bug at https://try.gitea.io:
- Yes (any repository)
- No
- Not relevant
Log gist: N/A

Description

I wish Gitea had an option to only watch for releases / new tags like GitHub's option notifications: releases only. I understand that currently watching sends notifications on new issues/comments/pull requests which may be very active while I may only beinterested in when they release/tag new versions unless I subscribe something by myself.

This is a feature I'm really missing as well. Some of the web services I run are on Gitea rather than GitHub/Gitlab (which is good imo) but staying on top of releases is difficult when I have to remember to explicitly look at that repo rather than just keep an eye on my feed reader.

I still prefer RSS/Atom for everything but I think this is a great feature request.
Just don't follow GH's behavior of not counting uploads without a message as releases, and thus not sending notifications when you're watching releases only.

I am not sure if this belongs here, but it would be nice to be able to also see how many users are just subscribing to releases while GitHub only counts those who are subscribed to all notifications.

I second the idea of supporting RSS feeds for projects. Even if it's as simple as presenting the commits or tags in a project as an Atom feed, that would be really helpful when subscribing through an RSS aggregator.
