Ah, this is because this repo has already been "upgraded" from semantic-release (SR) to release-please (RP) which is what @wangela has indicated as the path forward. However, I don't know the format for getting a RP badge. Can one of you link me to a Maps repo already on RP but has a working badge (link)? Then I can extrapolate for this and the rest of the repos that need to upgrade from SR to RP. Thanks!

# Extended Component Library

Google Maps Platform’s Extended Component Library is a set of Web Components that helps developers build better maps faster, and with less effort. It encapsulates boilerplate code, best practices, and responsive design, reducing complex map UIs into what is effectively a single HTML element.
