That solution seems awkward to me. Especially the creation part where you need to copy, then hand-edit.
Normally you don't need to touch such project files at all, but you require not only that, but also that the people know which parts to take out.
It really isn't that difficult, and it only has to be done once, plus any minor modifications later. For something rarely done, Geany shouldn't need to alter its existing code too much - see my answer to Lex for more explanation. Supporting GUI creation is much more work for Geany.
Also someone could write a plugin to create stub project files that supports the common settings that would go in a stub project file. That would be less effort as it would only need to support a fraction of project settings.
