Thanks a lot for this.

Here is some feedback:

I think the proliferation of *.mk files can confuse the user.
Can we try to reduce this to the maximum?

Ideally, there will be no *.mk file at all, just one Makefile
in which the maintainer can include a maint.mk file that will
only live on orgmode.org server (since we are releasing from
there.)

But maybe you're already heading in this direction, or my
suggestion goes against your goal.  

Thanks for any answer!

Best,
