Docs migration: Project/Group tokens usage

As a gitlab migration perceptive (new release of gitlab at EF next major version 15). There is some deprecated feature around gitlab PAT management.

https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/settings/project_access_tokens.html

The ability to create project access tokens without expiry was deprecated in GitLab 15.4 and is planned for removal in GitLab 16.0. 
When this ability is removed, existing project access tokens without an expiry are planned to have an expiry added. The automatic adding of an expiry occurs on GitLab.com during the 16.0 milestone. 
The automatic adding of an expiry occurs on self-managed instances when they are upgraded to GitLab 16.0. This change is a breaking change.

Oniro project created 2 PAT included one with no expire date. see the list.

name scopes project creator created on last used expires
docs-commit write_repository eclipse/oniro-core/oniro-readthedocs-aggregated Andrei Gherzan 2022-07-25 Never Never
ostcbot_token api eclipse/oniro-core/oniro Pawel Stankiewicz 2022-03-30 2022-06-23 2025-03-31

Can you give the used cases for this two PAT?
