To give you some idea as to why... the reason configure scripts typically aren't
shipped in the repository are because they are generated from other files.  So
you'd have to make a change to the configure.ac or .in file, and then have to
re-generate configure, and then commit that to the repository as well.  Some
projects that want to ship configure will have a bot watch for changes to the
relevant files and regenerate and re-commit, such as Mozilla.  But generally
it's much easier to just deal with it when creating a tarball.  This means if
you're creating the tarball, the responsibility is sort of yours.  ;-)

I guess I don't see any gconf stuff in the guidelines, but it doesn't look like
gnome-hearts ships any gconf schemas yet (unless I'm missing them) so you don't
have to worry about it.

Might be!  Consider filing a bug against rpmlint?
