What does tweaking the number of RT signals have to do with the
SIGINFO proposal?

I must be missing something, because I don't see why it's helpful to
weld these two issues together.

It has nothing to do with it directly. However, the issue is that adding SIGINFO would bring the number of RT signals to 7 (if NSIG/MAXSIG isn't bumped). This is below the minimum of 8, meaning that the total number of signals needs to be bumped. So, the thought leading up to this is: while NSIG/MAXSIG needs to be bumped, let an increase of the number of RT signals ride along on this change, so that these values do not have to be bumped again in the future.

I have no particular opinion on the number of RT signals. It was just a "while here, make some room to avoid future hassle" item.
