I’ve indeed seen this as well with my fork. I would guess it a “feature” of 
GitHub as sometimes individuals release out of their own forks as opposed to 
using the upstream artifacts or contributing back to the upstream artifacts. I 
would think this to be good as it encourages a larger more active community 
involvement in the project, and thus a healthier project. 

If you dislike this feel free to delete your fork while not developing. 

Cheers,
