He most likely just didn't notice that the newer commits exist. It only 
makes sense to keep the 5 year old version and ignore the later commits 
when the project is left stable. But I don't know this.

Commit comments indicate that these are particular fixes and it seems 
reasonable to include them.

I also doubt that the submitter has a better knowledge of the project 
history, he ≠ upstream.
