Several observations have bene made about ways in which major components/functions of the codebase are duplicated, requireing changes to be made in more than one place.

• Collection intervals hard coded in multiple spots #3338
• Fix null cntrb email  #3342 (the fix is made in multiple places)
• Deduplicate/lib get_section - and some other config improvements #3357 (helps fix duplication in reading from config

Is there a historical reason for this?
