The author, Tijl Coosemans <t...@freebsd.org> is probably not an Apache
committer.

FreeBSD ports can contain a collection of patches that they apply to the
official source tarball that are needed to build the ports on FreeBSD.

When Tijl was doing the work to upgrade the FreeBSD gmake port to 4.3,
he found that it broke a number of other ports and generated patches to
those ports to fix the breakage.  Here is the commit:
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports?view=revision&revision=534792
