Fair question; when I just checked CHANGES prior to my reply, I was kind of
expecting to see find "GH_COMMIT is deprecated" along the lines, but right
now it reads just that "No GH_COMMIT is needed".

However: it seems that GH_COMMIT is indeed not needed in this particular
case, and was comitted as is because original submission was not thoroughly
reviewed.  Another indication is that redundant GH_PROJECT was not removed.

That said, I'd like to remind us all once again *not* to apply and commit
submitted diffs from the PRs as is, because 1) they might have originated
from the old times and thus could not have possibly catch up with changes
in the framework, and 2) submitters are not expected to provide 100% good
patches in the first place.
