I don't know all the alchemies run by Paul for a release, but if you download a release like openocd-0.12.0.tar.bz2 from sourceforge you will see it contains a ChangeLog that is 2093189 bytes. It's only relevant for the release and I think Paul could accept using adding a parameter only for the release, like: ./bootstrap submodule or ./bootstrap withsubmodule For all the other users and for ACI there would be no need to download and use this submodule, so bootstrap by default could ignore it.
