The most recent change to exigrep (in 4.31) was

70. exigrep's output now also includes lines that are not associated with any
    message, but which match the given pattern. Implemented by a patch from
    Martin Sluka, which also tidied up the Perl a bit.


That was where the "our" came in. Always dangerous to "tidy up", I suppose...

Sigh.
