Yeah, this is not uncommon, I also think that everything I do should
become standard. ;)

Anyway, I agree with you that we probably shouldn't do anything
about it. Maybe a small note in the description would be good
though, like:

  Contrary to what the name might suggest, this library is not
  an official standard pertaining to GNU Make, but an independent
  project.
