[JENKINS-72820] GitChangeSet does not provide committer and author data at the same time

For the purposes of the functionality of skipping builds for commits containing a specific phrase in the commit message, it would be very helpful to be able to reach both committer date and author date at the GitChangeSet object level, and not only one of them, which is set via the authorOrCommitter variable at the object initialization level.

It would be great if GitChangeSet could provide getters for the committerTime and committerTime fields. Would it be possible without introducing breaking changes?
