 As a follow up to #5352, it'd be ideal if plugin authors had a button on
 https://wordpress.org/plugins/developers/releases/ which allowed a single-
 click "Tag a release from `/trunk` to `/tags/x.y`"

 For many people (myself included) the tagging process gets old quickly and
 can often be done incorrectly when the version isn't bumped in the right
 places, ie. a release is made with the old version still in the plugin
 headers, or the `Stable tag`

 With Release Confirmations requiring tagging, and not just releases from
 trunk, having an easy way to go from trunk to a tagged release would be
 helpful.

 Logic:
 If the plugin version in the /trunk/$plugin.php headers is >
 $latest_release display the button as "Tag and release $version"
 The tag would be based on the version header as-is, and ensure that it's
 greater than (as according to `version_compare()`) than all their other
 versions.
 The process would create a commit to the plugin, copying trunk to the tag,
 and updating the `Stable Tag` line in the readme at the same time.
