What's Gib's second double?
Should it promise 3-4 other major?
If no,why second double?

Apparently GIB always considers only the next bid, not the rest of the auction. Clearly, doubling again, intending to pass partner's 4H call, which will happen 90+% of the time, is nonsensical. I would never have doubled the first time, much less the second. GIB simply can't evaluate its own long suits.

Sure E Gib has good hand but can't get to 5♦ unless Gib mentions the suit.

First double OK, but I'm sure some humans would disagree and overcall, but second double just makes no sense, Gib should know W Gib is gonna bid 4♥ which is hopeless. So instead of doubling Gib should bid 4♦ which shows a big hand with ♦.
