Well, to keep the repo itself of manageable size and still add new fonts the release process changed as this

Thus patched fonts are not committed to the repo anymore. For easier transition this changed only for new fonts now, but the legacy in-repo releases will be dropped in the future for all fonts.

The the difference in the README of on old font and a new one (the ones you mentioned)
