Testing is always appreciated but this is unlikely to affect your ability to test patches from your CentOS 6 environment.  It's up to the author of a patch to include updated 'configure' script when needed.  For example when you wrote the patch for the beanstalkd CDR engine you added detection of the beanstalk client to the configure.ac script, then you ran ./bootstap.sh' to regenerate configure.  Since you ran bootstrap.sh nobody else has to and your patch can be tested on a system that doesn't even have autoconf (or has an ancient version).

   Hi Corey,

      Our production environment is based on CentOS 6.9 and we're
   slowly migrating to 7.X
   I would be happy to check out your patches inside our testing facility.

       Hello all,

       autoconf is required to run ./bootstrap.sh after changing
       configure.ac <http://configure.ac>
       or *.m4 in any folder of the Asterisk source tree (including
       menuselect
       and third-party folders).  Currently we require 2.60, I'm
       working on a
       patch that will require 2.64.  Note autoconf is not required to run
       './configure', it is only needed to run ./bootstrap.sh.

       Does anyone work on these files from a distribution which cannot
       install
       autoconf-2.69?  Although the changes I'm working on only require
       autoconf 2.64 I see no reason to hold back at this point.
       Version 2.69
       is from 2012 and is the latest version.  As far as I know CentOS
       6 is
       the only major currently supported distribution which has autoconf <
       2.64, all others provide 2.69.  Requiring 2.69 would be one less
       thing
       to worry about when working on configure scripts, especially since I
       don't have access to test any lower version.
