You just said it all...  I suspect HP may no longer be able to track
FSF GDB, and have drifted off on their own.  There's been some turnover
too, which doesn't help.  A little fishing on hp.com turns up

http://devresource.hp.com/CXX/Forums/hpux-devtools/hpux-devtools.0105/author.html

which includes a bit of recent HP GDB discussion, and it has some
HP employee names that might be worth pinging directly.
