The notify extension allows for using an additional external config 
which can be put into the repository. Maybe something like this could 
be used for propagating general .hgrc settings between repositories. 

Just like "import foo" in python or "source bar" in the shell. 

Then the only code necessary in Mercurial to propagate repository 
settings would be to allow for carrying the single setting which states 
which file is getting used as external config (maybe with the 
(toggleable) restriction that the file must reside in the repository and 
be under version control). 

Best wishes,
