I'm not sure I understand: the commit was made in the master branch.
See:

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-diffs/2016-02/msg00709.html

Ah, I think I understand now.  Commit 2621c29 was reverted later:

* | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 7882dc6..: John Wiegley 2016-03-06 Revert "Use colors in the VC mode lines"
  commit 7882dc625e1ec562fcd0e1b743ef11b160cae18e
  Author: John Wiegley <johnw <at> newartisans.com>
  Date:   Sun Mar 6 12:51:44 2016 -0800

  Revert "Use colors in the VC mode lines"

  This reverts commit 2621c293d82c15c00d9e73a8db75d70da7d0a23b.

and I can't find a revert for commit 65fa442 (the NEWS entry).
