As original author, you get to choose the license that will be used
within gnulib. I see nothing wrong with you declaring that the
setproctitle module is LGPLv2+.
If the FSF is the copyright holder, then there is no (legal) need to
ask the original author about permission to relicense the work. It
might be a nice thing to do, but if the original author says no for
some reason, the FSF can still relicense the work; they are the
copyright holders.
