GPL question

Im updating a wordpress theme that hasnt been updated since 2005 (yes 5 years)

adding stuff like

widget support
custom header support
custom backgrounds
post thumbnails
ajax loading of posts
+more.

now since its gpl, and im free to modify it, do i have to call it a fork of the orig theme?

I have tried contacting the author to let him know.

I also have left all of his mention in place, footer link, in style.css his name is still in there, just added a comment its a mod of the orig theme and all credit goes to him.

Is their anything im missing?
