Me!

Some of those are not what my original release team idea was about. Which was to replace the single release manager per release with a small group of people who share those jobs, and work (to varying amounts) across all releases. ie. no one single contact, no trying to find an RM for the next release, etc. At the moment, that would mean that the release team is probably limited to PMC members. Theoretically ASF projects can allow committers to be release managers, but we're not set up for that at the moment. Other than managing the release tasks, and turning the go-to person into go-to people, I'd be wary of making it seem like the rest of those things are specific to the release team. In my opinion, everything else listed is the common responsibility of everyone on this list!
