The problem is that such tooling, even if "trivial", would need to be 
implemented, tested, and maintained as well. And typically this just does 
not work when there is no developer who is actually interested in using it.

We are better off with improving the tooling that we already know *will* 
continue to be used: Namely the tooling for creating and maintaining our 
metadata in build/pkgs. Issues such as:

- https://github.com/sagemath/sage/pull/37322,
