While I'd be fine with this, I do not think we really need it. As you say, is_dir_sep() has been introduced a long time ago, so people should be aware of it, and it should also be immediately clear from the diff why using it is better than hard-coding '/'.
That said, I see any further explanations on top of the commit message title is an added bonus, and as "just" a bonus a link to a pull request should be fine. You don't need to understand or appreciate the concept of pull requests in order to follow the link and read the text in there.
