Those repos are maintained by people. Debian developers or potential
debian developers. You might ask the respective maintainers why their
particular repo is outdated...

What gets done, gets done by those who want it done, when they are
willing and able. Some people learn to package software, so that they
can get their particular favourite into official Debian sooner. There
is a new-maintainer process with some mentoring for those who are
interested.
