Well, that's not exactly true. The first patch from Jia Tan is a minor documentation fix, and the second is a bugfix which, according to the commit message (by Collin), "breaks the decoder badly". There's a few more patches after that that fix real issues.
Mark Adler's zlib has been around for a lot longer than xz/liblzma, and there's still bugfixes to that, too.
