Thanks for the suggestion.
I agree that it would be useful to import mini-mpq.[hc] into gnulib,
from the location that you mentioned. To do that, please augment the
file config/srclist.txt, so that we don't miss future updates.
I also agree that there should be two modules: one for mpn and mpz,
and another module for mpq, because there are many use-cases that need
only mpn and mpz.
But I don't agree with the naming of the modules. Since GMP includes
all three (mpn, mpz, mpq) in one library, the Gnulib module 'libgmp'
should do the same. This means, the existing libgmp module should be
renamed to 'libgmp-mpz', and the 'libgmp' module should then depend
on 'libgmp-mpz' and add the mini-mpq.[hc] code.
And the test source files should be renamed to
tests/test-libgmp-mpz.c
and
tests/test-libgmp-mpq.c
respectively.
Let me start with the renamings of what is already in gnulib. Then,
your additions are welcome (as two patches, please: one for the
new code in module libgmp, and one for the new tests).
