That mirror is several months out of date, the official on can be found
at https://github.com/ThomasDickey/ncurses-snapshots.  There have been
two foot related commits this year, both following bug reports by the
foot developer:

,----
| 20230610
|       + add xterm+focus to foot+base (patch by Daniel Ekloef).
|
| 20230401
|       + remove DECCOLM+DECSCLM from foot (patch by Daniel Ekloef).
`----

In addition the following change also changes the foot entry:

,----
| 20221224
|       + add/use bracketed+paste to help identify terminals supporting this
`----

If you look at the recent commits to foot's terminfo file, you can see
that they either follow or precede corresponding changes in ncurses:

My impression at the moment is different, otherwise I would not have
filed this bug in the first place.

Cheers,
