Unfortunately, from a developers point of view, it is not the easiest

If there were :
(1) some documentation on autoconf in sage ;

That sounds like re-inventing the wheel, as others have written documentation on autoconf. Unless there is anything Sage-specific, I don't see the need for this.

(2) with already a few things converted to serve as examples ;

There are lots of examples on the web, but I still believe a good understanding is required to write decent scripts for a non-trivial project like Sage. I don't think someone will get that by looking at others.

Then that would already cover a large proportion of the cases by
copy-pasting!

I don't think its that easy to do it right.

I like the idea, and may be able to offer some help, but I'm aware this is a non-trivial project. The rewards would be pretty great though.
