Indeed.

The change LGTM, thanks.

(I'm curious as to why :value is set to 1 rather than the default values
20 and 400 of the user options recentf-max-saved-items and
save-place-limit, respectively.  Not an important issue, though.)

See the outlines "Commit messages" and "Generating ChangeLog entries"
in the file CONTRIBUTE for the preferred commit message format.
In particular, it should mention the names of the file and variable
changed, as well as the bug#number.

The change is small enough to be exempt from copyright paperwork,
but if you are interested in contributing more in the future,
I recommend starting the assignment process early;
see (info "(emacs) Copyright Assignment").

Thanks,
