I think the build system is definitely part of the core development.
Just like you (maybe) don't care how XMLGUI is implemented internally,
you might not care how automake/unsermake work. Both are really the same kind
of core development issues, which you might not care about if your app simply 
"uses that stuff and it works". If you're not interested in ANY of this, then, hmm
why be on kde-core-devel? ;)

That's what sysadmin at office.kde.org is for.
