As you see in the release notes, ~38000 changes were made by ~1200 people. When writing release notes, the persons ask for the changes and request this. The feedback is on https://live.gnome.org/ThreePointOne/ReleaseNotes. If you check that page, you'll note a huge difference between the input (IMO 3.2 feedback was pretty good), and what is written in the release notes. The difference is ~2 full time weeks of work to track the changes. Then you have the difficulty to write the release notes while stuff is still changing, while you need to finish quickly otherwise the translators don't have time to translate.

Or in brief: usually just not noticed by the person writing the release notes.

Btw: on some sites a lot of people do not even bother to read them. They just comment using on the summary made by the site, even if it is wrong. Ideally I'd like to see a ~3 minute video, but don't think there is time to do that.
