Well, it's your call. But IMHO you are violating the GNU coding
standards:
"You should identify each release with a pair of version
numbers..."
You made a new *release* with a new license.
This isn't a new release, but a re-release.
FWIW, other GNU projects releasing for GPLv3 updates have so far
done the sane thing and bumped the version number.
They had bugfixes, we didn't.
