I had the same confusion as gp and spent a couple of minutes resesrching to figure it out. The reason the above quote didn't help me is that is clarifies that this isn't about review comments or other PR comments. But commit messages are neither of those.

Root cause? I didn't even know commit comments were a thing that GitHub had! I assume it was much clearer to everyone that knew about them.

Me too. It wasn't a term or feature I was familiar with, and (incorrectly) assumed they were talking about commit messages.
