New description:

 Edited since this is a little bigger.

 Originally:

 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 results in developers asking plugins to remove the feature from their
 plugins.

 Recommendation:

 If an _active_ tag is changed, allow a release notification

 Updated:

 Making any edits to the readme without bumping versions results in nothing
 changing on the front end. This means it's a requirement to release new
 versions in order to update tested-up-to (for example).
