If you mean that the page lacks an on-wiki fork of the release notes, I've never much done work on that side of the release process, leaving it to volunteers who think it's valuable. Personally, I think that writing those has always been a big time sink without a huge amount of value, and more likely to confuse than help; that's why they're not part of the release checklist. More broadly, I'm hoping to transition the work I do mostly as a volunteer around MediaWiki releases to colleagues, who might want to take the opportunity to think about what's the best way of documenting these.
