I have some enhancements and other things in flight that can already do
what these two bugs are talking about. Paul and I had discussed some of
the config auditing on the list about a year ago, and agreed that
there's no sense duplicating the functionality that already exists
(rather I was going to tweak a few things to make it more easily
accessible).

If you want, you could assign 5876 to me, and I could take care of it.

As for 11807, that is simply a kernel configuration option and it should
be handled like any other. I don't see the need for anything special to
be done.
