Hi Valent!
These menu icons are about 1 to 1,5 years old (so quite new actually), 
the latest addition to the set itself was about 5 weeks ago. You can see 
the details here: http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/gnome-icon-theme/trunk/ 
(under size/categories)

Fixes for them are more than welcome, just file bugs in bugzilla with 
attached patches.
