That's a hard-one.  And not sure if it's worth the hassle to edit 
those...and wonder as you do "what's the point?"

It's real easy to spot these people--zero contributions to Codex, and then 
they put their theme (or plugin) not only in the current compatibility list, 
but also older compatibility pages.  Generally I revert edits to older 
compatibility pages.

Not much of an answer, I know.
