Only partly.
For tzdata: it's not routinely merged from upstream at all since it's only
present as test inputs, and the wiki should emphasise that.
For tzcode: as timezone/README says, check ChangeLog for the version
merged from. There is a complication: checktab.awk originally came from
tzcode, but now is part of tzdata instead (since 2014g). As far as I can
see it's not used in glibc, so could actually be deleted.
