Think a shifting code by TAB in python-mode.

Mark might exist somewhere in line. Shifting will use its own region - but 
original region should be restored - if any.
Shifting by itself should not create a region nor clutter the mark-ring.

BTW you didn't tell whats the reason of the change:
Maybe it's worth reconsidering

commit b1d6ddd44614c84746f5ee494e1f29cd9be8a2d8

Notable changes to goto-line, i.e. calling push-mark.

Just an idea,
