I do not see anything particularly bold about it. This seems to me like a reasonable statement.
Many upstream developers just copy&paste
their configure.ac scripts together from examples or other projects without
understanding them. The current maintainer might also not be the developer
who wrote the scripts (who is often the only one understanding them).
Well, I just don't have that impression. What I do find a bit hard to believe is that somebody else other than the package's developer group would be in a better position to decide the merits of adopting a policy of automatically rebuilding the code using whatever version of autotools is installed.
