Please don't name anything "committs".  That looks like a misspelling of
something.

There is nothing wrong with

pg_get_transaction_commit_timestamp()

If you want to reduce the length, lose the "get".

In PostgreSQL, it is pretty clearly established that time is hours,
minutes, seconds, and timestamp is years, months, days, hours, minutes,
seconds.  So unless this feature only records the hour, minute, and
second of a commit, it should be "timestamp".
