Thanks for the patch.

-       /* Only allow superusers to log memory contexts. */
-       if (!superuser())
+       /*
+        * Only superusers or members of pg_read_all_stats can log memory 
contexts.
+        */
+       if (!is_member_of_role(GetUserId(), ROLE_PG_READ_ALL_STATS))

I personally think pg_log_backend_memory_contexts() should remain
restricted to superusers since it directly impacts the server log.
However, if we really did want to open it up to others, couldn't we
add GRANT/REVOKE statements in system_functions.sql and remove the
hard-coded superuser check?  I think that provides a bit more
flexibility (e.g., permission to execute it can be granted to others
without giving them pg_read_all_stats).
