I'd be happy to review a patch that changes this, if you think it's
worth changing. Generally the way things work here is that except for
obvious bugs, people send patches for things they care about, and then
other folks will review and make suggestions, or sometimes there won't
be any interest in a change, and the patch is dropped.

We'd probably want to standardize on "up to date", since that's the
correct form here according to the Chicago Manual of Style, and drop the
period, since this isn't a complete sentence.
