Comment (by boonebgorges):

 (In [6119]) Removes access declarations on legacy methods in bp-groups-
 classes.php

 Prior versions of BuddyPress were written for PHP4 compatibility, which
 meant
 that method visibility/access/static was not possible. WP and BP now
 require
 PHP5, which means that new methods can use PHP5+ access declarations.
 However,
 explicitly declaring 'static' or visibility on existing methods causes
 backward compatibility issues, because any existing plugin that extends
 these
 classes will throw fatal errors if they do not declare the same
 visibility/
 static as the parent class.

 See #4274
