Note we're not talking about -Werror.  We're talking about a more
carefully hand-selected subset of compiler warnings intended to act as a
"baseline".  

I don't believe the baseline approach is "craziness", and I am
definitely interested in willing to discuss improvements, and will work
on patches (like the one posted).

The problem with the "opt in" approach is then everyone who uses jhbuild
to contribute to GNOME will basically not be opted in, and it's far too
easy for them to write patches that fail the baseline.
