Understood. I think taking most of coreutils maint.mk and putting that
into gnulib is something we should consider. I suspect all the
non-coreutils-related projects can cope with having to review maint.mk
for anything that doesn't work.

I don't follow -- if you maintain your copies of maint.mk which are
similar but not identical in some way today, can't you use the same
strategy for cfg.mk?
However, ideally I think all of what's in coreutils maint.mk should go
into gnulib maint.mk. So the stuff you need to maintain in cfg.mk will
be minimal and project-specific. If it isn't project specific, it is
something that should go into gnulib's maint.mk.
