According to http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~pes20/ott/ there seems to be little 
recent activity.  The last update was for Isabelle2011 (January 2011).

Our edits are not so much, but essential: updating 'type_synonym' and 
having 'a set back.

I would consider the case closed.  Just keep the edited file, and continue 
maintaining it as before.
