As mentioned in #42343 (comment)
We don't really need those objects in the database after the manager (simply in the memory-managed SQLAlchemy session is good enough), and since the objects are still transaction-held, they can't be accessed by the listener hooks even if they are in the database anyway.
I also took the oppertunity to turn all listener method to class methods instead. This doesn't really make any difference (the manager does not hold instance-level values), and we need at least some of the methods to be class-level (for the internal API), and it's more consistent to have them all be class-level.
