I suggest you go ahead and commit it. However, from what you have said, the example exercises no new API at the present time. Therefore, there is no urgent need from the testing perspective to include it in our tests, propagate it to non-C languages, etc. So I suggest by all means update the lists mentioned in README.Release_Manager_Cookbook so it will be propagated to our website, and also do the build system updates so the example is built in the build tree when BUILD_TEST=ON, and installed in the installed examples tree with Makefile instructions to build it there. However, I would hold off on including this example in the lists in our plplot_test/test*.sh.in files consistent with the idea that it is C-only for now. That gives us a chance to modify the example extensively (or even remove it again if we don't like it) without worrying about propagation costs (or the waste of propagation effort implied by a removal).
