This is not very correct. The new contributions may be under GPL v2+,
that is certainly compatible with the old license.

And noone suggested this. However if the page changes list 2 contributors
and they both want to relicense, then this would be possible. By placing
new changes under GPL v2+, any possible relicensing is easier, if needed.
