 Great question, @Michi91!

 So I went and looked back for any precedent. It seems that there is one
 instance from [meta:#4764] where the URL was updated for all versions
 containing the incorrect external library URL (change was made in [meta
 9194]).

 The only other examples that I found (only going back to 4.0 time) were:
 - [meta:#1911]/[meta 3917] - Only the current release's credits were
 updated to use HTTPS URLs where supported.
 - [meta 1048] - The URLs were only updated for the current release.

 Seems `imageAreaSelect` was introduced in #13231 during 3.0, so it will be
 present in all versions supported in the Credits API. But personally, I
 think we either
 - Update 6.3 only
 - Update 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, and 6.3 (these 4 versions account for 75% of all
 WordPress sites)

 Also thinking this specific change should get copied over to a
 meta.trac.wordpress.org ticket following the examples above, and because
 that's where the change will ultimately be made. But making a patch is
 still very much welcome!
