Gazebo versions different between aptitude repositories ROS & OSRF. Why?

Why is the ROS Bionic package for Gazebo still = 9.0.0 whereas OSRF Gazebo Bionic repo at 9.13.0?

Gazebo repo:

curl -sL http://packages.osrfoundation.org/gazebo/ubuntu-stable/dists/bionic/main/binary-amd64/Packages | grep -EA1 "^Package: gazebo9$"
Package: gazebo9
Version: 9.13.1-1~bionic

ROS repo:

curl -sL http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu/dists/bionic/main/binary-amd64/Packages | grep -EA10 "^Package: gazebo9$" | grep -E "Package|Version"
Package: gazebo9
Version: 9.0.0+dfsg5-3ubuntu1+ppa2
