oslo.service implements the signal handler natively, but the feature
does not rely on oslo.service. The method in oslo.config that does the
work makes no assumptions about what triggers it. We did this on purpose
to support projects that do not use oslo.service.

I don't know enough about cotyledon to tell you how to do it, but you
need to set up a signal handler so that SIGHUP invokes the
mutate_config_files() method of the ConfigOpts instance being used by
the application.
