Comment (by dd32):

 > If a plugin enables release notifications and later makes cosmetic edits
 to a plugin (such as bumping 'tested up to') _WITHOUT_ making a new
 version, the change will not be noticed or set live.

 This was kind-of by design. The intention is that the release should not
 change after approved, even if the tag changes (which realistically,
 should never happen).

 Unfortunately, as we all know though, plugins often need to update `tags`
 for readme changes..

 I would love if the fix for this wasn't to support tag-updates, but to
 remove the need to alter the tag.
