The last commit to that branch was done 27 days ago. The older files stay there 
as they are still needed as part of the complete database.

"Development branch" does not mean "all files change all the time". It only 
means "new code/data can get added here at any time and we don't guarantee 
stability or absence of bugs". Also, typically only a few contributors can 
modify the depository (checking in new files, creating or merging branches). 
And in most open source projects, even those people are volunteers and might 
have other things to do. So a last commit 27 days ago in what is a fairly 
stable library isn't all that surprising.

And typically, as an end used you don't want to pull from a development 
branch, unless you really know what you are doing.

Although in this specific case (pulling a lens or camera xml file from a 
development branch) breaking lensfun isn't all that likely.

That list can easily be generated every night by an automated script. So the 
list is new, but that doesn't mean that there are new cameras or lenses added 
every day.
