It seems that the file originally called profile.xml (in
/MinGW/var/lib/mingw-get/data/)
was renamed as defaults.xml in later versions of mingw-get, but the
current mingw-get reads profile.xml even if defaults.xml exists. I edited my
profile.xml like this:

 <!-- <repository
uri="http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/%F.xml.lzma?download">
-->
  <repository uri="http://osdn.net/dl/mingw/%F.xml.lzma">

and mingw-get now tells me that the installed gcc version is 6.3 and the
repository version is 8.2.
