I'm not sure it's "illegal"... but according to [0] the Apache license is subsumed by AGPL3, so I think this means they can add AGPL3 code freely and the result still makes sense to lawyers. They may also relicense code fully authored by themselves as AGPL3. Perhaps it may be even possible to relicense contributor code given these specific licenses? I don't know. They can push to that repository, so it's their prerogative to add whatever. Of course, people could use their own forks without these commits, not upgrade, etc.
