The github-plugin currently supports PUSH events from Github only:
We'd like to be able to take action based on other events such as a release/tag being cut (X-GitHub-Event: create). We poked around a bit and see that there is an open PR to support additional events (https://github.com/jenkinsci/github-plugin/pull/54). Are there any plans to address the outstanding issues in the PR or add this feature, in general?
This change requires massive rewrite of plugin, as it originally was not designed for variable events. But for now I have no time to do such great things as it requires to put a lot of efforts doing this in java7-way with lot of backward-compatibility steps to not break any existing installation after the upgrade. With my current focus on avoiding jenkins it exists in the tail of very long backlog. So if you can implement it as new trigger probably with java7 I can help with review and merge with pleasure. PR#54 breaks some binary compatibility and generally contains a lot of issues because of tightly-coupled to a specific case.
