I would love to see any proposal.

The new GDM does not use a /usr/share/gdm/defaults.conf file, but
does use the /etc/X11/gdm/custom.conf file for some configuration
options.  The code for interacting with the configuration files would
therefore likely need to be a bit more complicated.

The new GDM also does not support many of the configuration options that
used to be supported.  So there would be some work reworking the user
interface so it makes sense.

You are right, not a huge amount of work, but not a completely trivial
one either.  Probably should involve the usability team to figure out
how the new UI should look.
