I got failures when trying to bootstrap:

dropped the stale .po files for the unreleased 1.9 development branch.
Paul, I now noticed that the use of .po files was intentional (you
pushed commit 610290de adding gettext translation of author names back
in July 2020, but without emailing m4-patches at the time). How do you
get around the bootstrap failure?
I don't get a failure now, I expect because you turned off po updates.
I don't recall trying to bootstrap from scratch when I installed that
patch, so I imagine that it worked because a previous bootstrap worked.
I guess what I need to do is release m4 1.4.18b to get a tarball with
the .pot file, send that to the translation project, then wait a week
before actually releasing 1.4.19 to see if I can pick up any .po files.
Sounds good.
