Thanks for the link, this ticket can be closed then.

As for #41572, I see that adding support for local/plain/novc projects is not as 
simple as I thought.

As mentioned in that bug, probably I didn't see the possible implications of 
this change because my novc projects are quite small and so, for instance, 
`find' performs just fine within them. Also, I do not need to ignore anything in 
particular in these projects, so I didn't take that into consideration either.

To be more specific: these projects are not related to a programming language, 
so no build tools are involved. Just plain Markdown files and PDFs. They may 
involve LaTeX sometimes, but supporting project.el here could be something 
AUCTeX can take care of?

I don't know how much I can add on #41572. It looks like what I need is a small 
subset of not so trivial changes. For my specific use case, then, it makes 
little sense to change project.el.
