That's exactly the right way. :-)

Have you seen the thread starting with the below message on the auctex
users list?

  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/auctex/2022-03/msg00004.html

Especially, how does your patch work in the presence of valid interval
notation like [1,10[ or [1,10)?  Will that break indentation for the
remainder of the whole document?

Submitting a patch to auctex-devel is the right way.  And in order to
commit your patch to our repository (which one of the maintainers will
do), you'd need to assign copyright to the FSF.  (I or some other
maintainer will send you the form for starting that process then.)
