I'll work on Issue #701. Unfortunately even seemingly small issues sometimes end up taking hours, which is often more than the volunteers have.

Currently I port the page from caml.inria.fr, which I feel is a duplication of work. It would certainly be better if the release page could be made directly on ocaml.org. The relevant directory in the repo is site/releases, and one simply has to copy a previous page to start, and update the text and links as appropriate.
