How to get (or create) a new release of a community plugin that is still maintained?

Hello.
This is my 1st time here, so if I’m asking something in the wrong place or if I’m missing something from the onboarding please correct me.
I’m interested in using the JMS Messaging plugin, however the latest release is quite old and doesn’t match the current documentation. The plugin is still maintained or at least was as of 2-3 months ago.
My questions are:
1 - Is there a way for me to create a public/official release? As this is a plugin that is under jenkinsci in Github I’m guessing there is a pipeline for it.
2 - If not, what is the standard way to request a new release from the maintainers?
3 - Barring both of those, what is the standard way to create a manual/private release?
Thank you all.

Releases can only be created by the maintainer unless the plugin uses CD.

So you need to wait for a release. Since you already asked in GitHub issues for a release yesterday, it makes sense to wait a little bit longer for an answer.

You can create a private version of the plugin by running `mvn verify` and deploying the HPI/JPI plugin manually.
