When you ask this way, then the most recent and official version would 
be best: OOo 3.3.

But honestly, "version58" is the worst pre-setting as it doesn't exist 
for OOo and I don't know for what it was ever used.

The webpage may a problem for itself, yes, but not the main one. From BZ 
itself you can create new issues with this pre-defined version. See:

https://issues.apache.org/ooo/

and just click on "Chart".

So, IMHO there has to be a setting to define the default version to 
present in this input mask.

Good hint, that's working perfect. :-)

Right.

I've not looked into details but will try do so tomorrow. Then I can 
give you a BZ issue.
