Thanks, pushed to the master branch.

A few minor nits for your future contributions:

  . For changes in the manuals, the name of the node where the change
    is done should be mentioned in parentheses, as if it were a
    function.
  . Please make sure the NEWS entries are filled according to the
    default setting of fill-column (use M-q to do that).
  . It is preferable to explicitly mention the new functions/variables
    in the log entries for NEWS and the manuals.

You can look at the changes I actually pushed to see how I handled
those issues in this commit.

Thank you for your contribution; your copyright assignment is now on
file.

[Message part 3 (message/rfc822, inline)]

Currently, keyboard.c calls do-auto-save directly and passes nil to the
NO-MESSAGE arg. It would be nice if there was a way to pass t in these
situations in order to suppress the message. Perhaps a new var to
suppress the auto-save message in all cases?

This has been asked about and/or hacked around (by disabling the normal
auto-save mechanisms and adding an idle timer) a number of times:
