Really? This is not surprising, because you are the person, who committed
related changes.

> Please convert ports using it.

I already submitted related PRs. Some of the ports has a benefit, because they
may use available tags, but some not, if there is a need to use full commit
hash, i.e. very long directory name for WRKSRC. Overall, this is just a not
needed (untimely) switch from one workable solution (legacy.tar.gz) to another
(tar.gz), in my opinion. There was a possibility to use tags with proper
changes, without the need to convert other ports. The one of the reasons to
convert was a not supported longer abbreviated (or full) commit hash for
GH_COMMIT method, which is wrong. But I agree, that this PR may be too late.
There are other changes and public statements, which prevents it.

Feel free to close this PR, if you don't need proposed changes. At least, there
are no other expressed opinions here to this moment.
