I believe it is simply a matter of our release manager not having time.
Not that I blame him, it's just that we have no paid, full time release
manager, so we get releases when he has time to make them.
He hasn't had time lately due to other, higher priority (and rightly so)
commitments.

Sorry, I don't believe this at all. All the time we've spent has been
waiting for RC's to be rolled and getting signatures, not waiting for
features to be fixed.
