If I wanted to fix issues like these in the future, where in the source code would I look?

Thanks for reporting.

This is expected. The source code in this repo doesn't directly deal with browser compat warnings. Instead, it uses a third-party library to do this. That library is browser-compat-data (BCD).

So, most likely, the problem is that the version of BCD used here is not the latest, and therefore webhint shows outdated warnings.

The fix would be to bump the version of BCD used in the dependencies of this project.

You're welcome. It looks like dac7399 bumped BCD a couple of weeks ago.

How long does it take for changes here to propagate to the webhint extension for VSCode?

I'm not familiar enough with the release process for webhint. Let me ping @vidorteg here.
