Seems reasonable to me.
Longer-term, once the support is in, it would be good to know how the API
exposed for pthreads on Hurd compares to the NPTL API. Right now, we have
very little documentation for threads, but in principle it would be good
to have thorough documentation for the pthreads API, and for the API to be
the same between different OSes rather than having some interfaces only
supported on some OSes. (Then most of pthread.h could be shared between
the different implementations - duplicating all the function declarations
and associated feature test macro conditionals for them is not ideal.)
