Is this the majestic "we" or are you talking about Emacs development in
particular?  If the latter, why not set a directory-wide variable for
the Emacs project (namely in the repository) for making the
Emacs-internal Elisp files default to utf-8?

That should cater for "us" without enforcing encodings in other people's
projects.
