Who is being hurt by people copy&pasting code? Being able to start up a server on the fundament of well-tested scripts is a good thing.

A project like this would (a) provide examples of coding techniques and (b) provide a useful, extra feature to the Graal client. What's so bad about that? If you think providing baddy scripts is useful, then go ahead and do it. Why say that something like this shouldn't happen just because it doesn't provide any core server systems?

I am somewhat doubtful about "(b)". I am not sure what kind of Graal client you are running, but my one is limited to a single window and sluggish ugly pseudowindows and unable to communicate with any of my other applications or store data in my home directory.

I am not saying you do not get to run your pet project, I am just saying your time would be better spent elsewhere.
