Yes, it's a manual process. The binaries are build and tested by volunteers, and the set of folks who volunteers differs a little between releases.

I would assume LLVM has some kind of CI infrastructure. That should be able to build the release binaries.

The pre-built binaries are really mostly for users who want to try out the release quickly. We expect most users to get the compiler through their distro (except on Windows where these are the official binaries).

The problem is, depending on which operating system and version you use you might not get updates. For example, Travis CI is stuck at an ancient version of Ubuntu and only provides LLVM 5.0, as far as I can see.
