I thought you were talking about ones that didn't use the GitHub release.

For ones that do use the GitHub release, making using those easier was
the goal of this commit. For example, after this commit, I can change
net/syncthing like so:

-MASTER_SITES=
https://github.com/${PORTNAME}/${PORTNAME}/archive/v${PORTVERSION}.tar.gz?dummy=/

+MASTER_SITES=  GHR
+DISTVERSIONPREFIX=     v
+USE_GITHUB=    yes

No commit hash in either one. Also note there are some additional
changes for USE_GITHUB in the pipeline:
