Yes I believe they would. You (or I :) ) could always try. Usually the 
gcc team is very easy to convince while others you have to really fight. 
If the patch is simple and clean, I guess that this wont be a problem at 
all. This is only about extending gcc's feature and the likeliness to 
introduce regressions/bugs are low.

( I just remembered that the author of this patch needs an copyright 
assignment with FSF to enable checkin into gcc, regardless of who 
proposes the patch to GCC. Who's the author? )
