Template appears to be out of date

If you are creating a new project from a template and you click the preview button next to pages/gatsby, you are brought to this repo (which is up to date and working). However, when you click "use template" it creates a new repo that appears to be based on an old commit from this repo. In this repo that I created from the template, you can see that package.json has gatsby ^1.9.17 whereas this repo has ^2.21.22. A more thorough examination seems to indicate that the template repo is based on this commit which was made 2 years ago.

The page on contributing to templates says to contribute directly to this project, and doesn't make any mention of additional steps required.

Confusingly, there is another gatsby template project here: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/project-templates/gatsby but it's unclear how it is related.

This seems like maybe it's a bug with gitlab, rather than this template, but I'm not sure how the templating process works so I'm opening the issue here in the hope that someone can at least point me in the right direction.
