Partly, yes. Small part though...

Things that cannot be automated:
- creation of a ChangeLog
- making sure modules are stable (you know the rules)
- fixing the first two lists of [1]
- making an announcement (and post to -user, FreshMeat, ...)
- check that it builds from the .tar.gz and the .zip
- check if JUnit gives the same results when starting from those two
- upload to SF

And I'm sure I am forgetting a number of things...

But true, some of the release managers work is already done. Checking
the state of the branch. That's not automatable either.
