Missing tags makes it hard to generate a changelog retroactively

[consideRatio]

I'd like to create a changelog retroactively using github-activity, but that relies on release being git tagged.

Is it okay if I retroactively create git tags, or maybe @yuvipanda has git tags already made but not pushed that can be pushed retroactively? It would help the use of github-activity to generate the changelog. I see that the setup.py file has been updated reliably with new versions for each release on PyPI even though git tags hasn't been created/pushed reliably.

These are the version bumping commits

• All the commits for 2.x are part of Rename to be gh-scoped-creds #13
  • 2.0 bd22157
  • 2.1 8abb333
  • 2.2 61d6aab, was the bump commit, 441933d was the merge commit arriving directly after.
• The 3.0 commit was part of Automatically tell git where to look for github creds #14
  • 3.0 c787d0b was the bump commit, cda47f3 was the merge commit arriving directly after.
• The 4.0 commit was in a dedicated bump PR: Bump version number #20
  • 4.0 03149b1 was the bump commit, ba42a02 was the merge commit arriving directly after.

Practically, I think the following tags should be made, where 2.2, 3.0, and 4.0 are the merge commits of the PRs where the version bumping commit were made.

git tag -am 2.0 2.0 bd22157
git tag -am 2.1 2.1 8abb333
git tag -am 2.2 2.2 441933d
git tag -am 3.0 3.0 cda47f3
git tag -am 4.0 4.0 ba42a02
