After that xy thing where they were trying to install a back door having changes that are hidden like this is a big red flag.
In fact changing include <something.h> to include "something.h" with a hidden commit like this isn't a red flag it's a big rotating alarm with a siren. Someones trying set things up to include malicious code via a faked system lib.
