Can we get tag annotations
Is it possible to fetch the tag title and annotations for each tag, subsequently add them to each tag's description?

I'm not familiar with Ruby otherwise I would raise a PR for this.
I created a GIST in Python. Hope this helps someone. It has a lot of assumptions! Would love for somebody to hit the Github API instead of the way I have done this (git tag -l -n9), parsing and regex.
In the meantime, I incorporated that script as a git hook. See this link. Would love to see this functionality as well.

I'll like to try my hands on this.
@Ic3fr0g could you clarify how you obtain the annotations? Going through your script looks like its only the tag title it uses.
I fetch tag annotations using git tag -l -n9. There are a lot of silly hacks I perform to get it to work with this script.
Firstly, all tags follow some nomenclature v1.01, v1.1.1a or something in that format.
Typically my tags read like this (fetched using git tag -l -n9) -
v2.2.2h Check-in experiment: D3+ as a controller
- Override txns for check-ins in D3+ with new controller 'C'
- Priority for normal rules = 1025, AKB rules = 1026
In my code, I iterate and parse every line in the text data generated by the tag summary. I store the tags as keys in the dictionary tags_title_annotation with values as "title" and "annotation". And I use the fact that subsequent lines under a tag title will either be its annotation or a new tag.
Hope that helps.
