I'm not sure where you got that idea. Historically it's been pretty
common for there to be a version of something in ports where upstream
development has stalled (or outright died), but an active maintainer
keeps the thing alive with patches. Requiring a maintainer to do what
you're suggesting seems a very high, and altogether unnecessary burden.
