If I'm not mistaken, both Python and scipy keep their docs in a separate repo.
Another challenge with our release notes is that we tend to have a *lot* of changes per release, thanks to both the rate at which we release, and the large amount of code we have coming in from GSoC (plus a lot of smaller contributions from various people). The release notes should do a good job of summarizing the high-level changes for the release as well as list all changes for anyone who's interested. I do agree that our release notes should be improved. I'm just not convinced that moving them to the source would solve that.
