So skimming the whole discussion[1] it seems that most are generally fine with bumping the requirements to C11, except for Giovanni Giacobbi (whose draft PR[2] had no further discussion so far), and maybe for some uncertainties regarding some less used compilers. Given that feature freeze is in 3 days[3], it appears to be prudent to have a final decision now, and to close PR #15079[4] if we're going with C11, or merge that or Giovanni's PR[2], otherwise. And if we're going with C11, figuring out the details (which configuration check to use, or only documenting the requirement) can still be decided somehwat later, in my opinion.
