Comment (by ryandesign):

 /bin/bash still exists on Catalina so there is no urgent need to change
 anything. Perhaps it will disappear in a future version of macOS.

 Presumably the script is simple enough and POSIX-compliant enough that we
 should be specifying /bin/sh instead. But if the portgroup's script
 generation is changed, all ports that use that script generation should
 have their revisions increased.
