That's me.  However, AFAIK at present bash is built using its included 
copy of the readline sources and does not use libreadline.  That may be 
changing as of 5.0/3.0 but it is news to me.

readline is...not fun...to compile as a shared library; my patch is 
quite large, and includes re-auto-tool-ing.  I'm gradually pushing parts 
of it upstream, but...

If you'd like to adapt my current -src package/patchset to the alpha 
release, I'd welcome your assistance.
