It's easier to do it the way we currently do it because then we can fix the release notes retroactively.
We would also have to include them in the repo itself to do it right, I think, and I'm not sure if we want to do that. I think it was discussed before, and we decided against it (you can probably find it if you search the mailing list archives). I personally like it the way it is now because it makes my life easier as the person who does the release (again, because I don't have to make sure the release notes are ready to go when I do the actual release). It also makes it easy for anyone to go in and add the things they changed, which is also good for me, as I don't have neither the time nor the expertise to write the whole release notes myself. But if enough people want it to change that's fine too.
