As per Releases API | GitLab GitLab somehow determines the author of a release behind the scenes - it cannot be passed as input.
Every now and then we releases whose author is wrong i.e. neither the one triggering the pipeline nor the commit author. So, what algorithm does GitLab apply here?
We use $CI_JOB_TOKEN to authenticate against the API.

} >> release.json
cat release.json
curl "$CI_API_V4_URL"/projects/"$CI_PROJECT_ID"/releases \
