https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/m4.git/tree/HACKING?h=branch-1.4 almost 
covers it but not quite.

I would follow the guidance in that file wrt style and such, and then send 
patches to the m4-patches
mailing list ([email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> 
<mailto:[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>>) using git-send-email.

Best,
sam
