Should I change the commit message in order to avoid confusion among devs that
read it?

If I change it, how should it sound?
It could be:

Since GMail's certificates can be sslverify-ed there is no need to set sslverify
to false, the example using it may confuse readers that it's needed since it's
also used in the previous example configurations, too.

Have a nice day!
