Same as for Bzr, yes.

Depends on the specifics.  E.g. just changing the defcustom with a ":type
'hook" would probably not be accepted because the downside (pointed out
by Artur) isn't made up by significant extra convenience.
But if the change includes some genuinely useful extra info (e.g. good
suggestions for functions to add to this particular hook), it might make
it acceptable.
