Steven Johnson would be willing to do the paperwork.  He writes:

  The autoconf macro repository does not require a copyright
  assignment.  I would be willing to sign one, though.

  It might be worth thinking about whether ACX_PTHREAD should be added
  to autoconf proper, since it seems to be a fairly widely used macro.
  (I have already signed a copyright assignment for my work on
  Autoconf.)

  Cordially,
