It's useful information, to a few people. In this case, Stefan can answer for himself, but I guess he had done most of the work anyway and might as well record the result of it. In general, if somebody wants to do the work nominating and/or testing, and if it doesn't distract much energy from the rest of us, that's fine. This wasn't a significant distraction to me; I don't intend to review it or do anything with it.

If somebody even wants to create a new release from an unsupported branch, likewise, that's fine too, again with the 'distraction' caveat. In declaring those versions as unsupported, we don't promise never to do anything supportive, and as an open source project we certainly can't prevent others doing so. I would suggest in cases where a tiny action on our part may help other people to do such maintenance if they want to, then it's healthy for us to do that.
