The GitHub API allows you to provide much more useful content for a release. See this project as an example: https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-ruby/releases - Notice that it has links for build artifacts, generated docs, and even contains links to issues closed by the release. Also, its pretty easy to automate a "release" from travis.

The problem isn't that you can't add more content to a release, it's that you can't remove the misleading zipball/tarball links which are labelled source code but break traditional tarball conventions (e.g. not running autotools first).
