Comment:

 Noticed a couple things:

 1
 The patch needs some coding standards. Please run
 `phpcs --standard=phpcs.xml.dist src/wp-includes/general-template.php`

 and fix all the warning/errors marked with `[x]`

 2
 As a long-term goal, [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/40925 these
 selects shouldn't use the change event]. For now, there's the need to
 address a behavior that didn't matter before but is now relevant:
 - select a month
 - the page reloads displaying the correct month
 - select again the default option "Select Month"
 - the page reloads: this shouldn't happen
 - comparing with what the Categories select does, the JavaScript should be
 modernized a bit and not trigger a page reload when the default option is
 selected
 - this means the markup should be changed too, to wrap the select with a
 `<form>` element (see for inspiration the Categories widget)
