Once the BSD code is part of a GPL project, any new patches are by default GPL (the default license of the project). It takes extra thought and effort to make the patches be BSD
In addition, many GPL people believe that it's a much better license than BSD, and so they _really_ want their work under the GPL.
If either of these are the case, then the patches don't get contributed back under BSD

I realize that, it seems like a poor reason. Maybe git needs an "export as bsd" option for ones own code 8-)
