FYI. We updated the changelog post with more details about what did (and did not) change: https://github.blog/changelog/2022-08-04-commit-comments-no-...

There are different types of comments in GitHub, and ironically, this change was made to reduce confusion by not surfacing comments made on individual commits (comments added from the commit page on GitHub) in the timeline(s) of pull request(s) that happen to include those commits.

Nothing has changed for "pull request review comments" (comments added from the pull request page, including comments added when reviewing a pull request commit-by-commit). Also, nothing has changed in the way GitHub surfaces commits or commit messages in the pull request (or any other) page.

Hope this clarifies. If not, let us know.
