I completely agree... the reason I created that to start with is
because I needed some more useful debug trace on invocation of $(call
to debug things when we where working a lot on gnumake.... I tried to
upstream these (quite small) patches.. but these were silently ignored
upstream...
so I did and used my own fork to be able to use this...

yes, and prepare patch for upstream, including rebasing them while
upstream is sitting on them..

Note: I do _not_ use that repo to build make for the slave bot...
