No reason other than inertia on my part. I generally find it more
manageable updating the release notes at the same time as committing a
fix or a changeset to the repository rather than trying to generate
release notes shortly before a release. Usually, come release, I can
hardly remembering what all those issues were about. This also allows me
to omit issues I deem unimportant. But as any manual process, I fully
admit it can be error-prone.
I'll happily vacate the role of the release manager, though.

I'll happily adjust if someone can lay the groundwork for using
changes.xml instead of a plain RELEASE_NOTES.txt.

It's the same process over there except that commits are made to code and
to a changes.xml file which is used to generate an HTML report (as part of
the Maven reports, see Commons IO [1] for example) and a txt file at
release time.

I think you are the best one for this project ATM. As for me, I do not know
its innards well enough yet ;)
