It happened, that they were orphan for long months, with at most 1 vote, and most of them were broken or incorrect. As the state progressed, it is was now easier to make a new package, than to update old, broken packages.
So, if someone really needs git version, I recommend copying PKGBUILD of stable version from community, change it's name and source, add few extra lines from PKGBUILD git prototype and have a working version, instead of broken one. You are free to do this of course, and it would be far less work than bringing old ones up to par.
