Paul, I now noticed that the use of .po files was intentional (you
pushed commit 610290de adding gettext translation of author names back
in July 2020, but without emailing m4-patches at the time).  How do you
get around the bootstrap failure?

I guess what I need to do is release m4 1.4.18b to get a tarball with
the .pot file, send that to the translation project, then wait a week
before actually releasing 1.4.19 to see if I can pick up any .po files.
