It's fine with me if you push that to master and branch-2.5. If it's
really stable, you could even push something to branch-2.4.2, but that
would require a manual update of m4/m4.m4 because branch-2.4.2 does not
have an autoconf submodule.
Because this change is visible to the user, I'd also appreciate a brief
NEWS entry for the earliest release.
Thanks, Eric.
