I think having the same commit message for different patches to
different branches is an unwise behavior, particularly if the commit is
release-note worthy.  (I think it is fine if the patch is purely
mechanical and hence not release-note worthy.)  The master patch is hash
9f3665fbfc and the PG 13 patch is hash 9663d12446.
